Java program to fix the routing behaviour of the XT.

[FrankB]

In case this helps another Mac user to diagnose, the program does start OK and does display a file selection graphic window (attached), but crashes as soon as selection is attempted:

Thanks Dan for testing. A few thoughts:

- Security. Can you access the directory and write the files?
- On Windows there is a java.exe and a javaw.exe. The first version allocates a console window where you get error messages. The javaw.exe does not allocate a console windows, yet the program writes some info to the console window. Maybe that is the error.
- I would imagine that 'somewhere' the stacktrace is available. That would be helpful.

This week Thursday I may have a Mac to try myself.

Yes, if he's able to test it, i will notice you - i fear, that at least all newer android based navigation units from Garmin had the same behave! Looking forward to hear vom XT2- and/or Thread-Users....

Loaded the Java converter works perfectly. Much more speedy than editing the Hex files. Many thanks for all your work on this folks. I regularly use a zumo XT and Zumo 390 on two different bikes thought I was going a bit mad with the XT Files imported into the 390 behave as expected and are called Unscheduled Trips on that unit.

Initially I was going to give this Java program a miss and just edit them manually but I thought I would give it a go

So easy and so quick to use! massive thanks to @FrankB

Thanks Stu. Only thing that's bothering me now is how to get it running on a Mac.

I was wondering if mac users can get a windows emulator

[FrankB]

The idea of using Java as a programming language was that it's platform independent. So Windows & Mac users could use it. An emulator should not be needed.

I would like to suggest that you contact Garmin support and see if they can review, revise, etc, and issue a patch or update so all can take advantage of your efforts.

I've been in communication with support for a while on this issue. They know exactly what the problem is, how to make it happen, when it doesn't happen, and now they know that we have found something that fixes it so that it doesn't happen any more.

They were supposed to be getting back to me this week, but haven't done so yet.

Thanks for staying on top of this

Mac Users:
Yesterday I could try the program on a Mac. It works. The trip files are modified, but there is no visual feedback to the user.
I will try to change the program to give some feedback to the user. If I manage I will give an update.
