How to?

Post by Multirider »

Can anyone advise how you change the colour of a created route on the xt2?
And can a route additionally be saved as a track?

Easy In Basecamp but on the XT2 unit itself ??……

I believe that the route is always magenta. There are setting in the themes folder in the internal storage area, and the can be altered to (say) make tracks appear wider than routes. But I looked for, and couldn't find a setting to change the route colour.

Creating a track from a route is possible in Basecamp - its a good idea to have both on hand as you can then display both on the same screen. I dont expect it to be possible on the XT2. But I don't own one, so cannot be sure.

Oh and welcome to the forums.
Have owned Zumo 550, 660 == Now have Zumo XT2, XT, 595, 590, Headache
Use Basecamp (mainly), MyRouteApp (sometimes), Competent with Tread for XT2, Can use Explore for XT - but it offers nothing that I want !
