Shaping points I described as being created by placing them directly on intersections do have some issues. The issues come about because the point characteristics that cause them to not be announced is tied to the underlying map data. The info comes from the map not the gpx file. This often caused i...

If you place your points directly in an intersection, or on a section of road that does not have street addresses, the points will not announce. These are different from shaping points created in Basecamp though.

The XT only has bluetooth out no cable. So you would need to connect a bluetooth dongle to the Wing's aux input. I purchased one from Amazon for $16 but Electrical Connection also sells one with and one without a ground loop isolator. Also, the XT can recognize 5,000 songs. https://www.amazon.com/gp...

Hello, I have been a long time Zumo user. I currently use the 660 on my RSTD. Recently I have started creating my own routes for scenic rides around Southern Ontario Canada.

By way of example: I have a folder on my computer I ...

Yes, I do it frequently when on trips with a few friends each year. I do all the route planning and send the route to their NAV V and NAV VIs each morning.

But you cannot transfer files to you phone or any other kind of device via bluetooth. The new Zumo XT model has that ability.

I just went in to my firewall and changed a setting to deny Basecamp access to the internet.

I seem to recall it's 30 meters. That, said the best way to deal with this is to place the via point on the road at the entrance to the park and place a shaping point at the precise spot.
