I'm putting this topic here to make it easier to find for later subsequent searches.

I spotted a query about custom POI display. V6.60

Very quick test of my own POIs. They show up on the map when you break the perimeter - at the same time that the sound is played and the picture is displayed. They disappear a short time afterwards - I guess when they leave the perimeter.

I note an option in Custom POIs - for my own set called TourGuide - There are 3 options: Off/Auto Play / Prompt
It may have been there before, but I do not remember it. This is in Settings, Driver Assistance, Proximity Alerts, choose POI list

This little test made me wonder - what if there isn’t a perimeter set, or a picture, or a sound file.

For reference, I made two guides regarding the creation of ‘Tour Guide style POIs’ and Standard POIs.

Trip Manager has a facility for making standard POIs from Waypoints - with just a tick in the appropriate box.

Has the 6.60 software solved the RUT issue ?

RUT behaviour seems to be triggered when an imported route is recalculated - eg after pressing skip. Subsequently, if you wander off route, the route seems to behave more like when navigating a track that has been converetd to a trip - ignoring route points and it calculates a way to get to the closest point of the remaining route. This notion is backed up by the fact the Tracks converted to a trip also display RUT behaviour - if you turn away from the route at 90 degrees.

I do not want a route to behave like that. I want the route to calculate a new way to the next route point. As it did with the Zumos before the XT1 and as it does with a route that has been built using the Zumos trip planner facilities.

First Test Observations on the XT2 with version 6.60 of the system software installed.

My tests for RUT behaviour are :

1. Track Log becomes fragmented.
2. Route points for which you ignore the navigation instruction are removed from the route.
3. With U Turns turned off, the route uses side road - 'turn back loops' to get you to go back. The Zumo calculates only to the last turn back loop leaving the evidence on the recalculated route.
4. The 'Skip List' contains the route points that have already been visited.
   Repeated U turn requests are a symptom. They are only evidence when they become inconsistent with the Zumo's routing alrgorithm.

The route map:

The route has ShPt1 just after the start. This is there purely so that I can press skip to force the route to recaclulate. This seems to be one way that RUT behaviour can be triggered.

ShPt2 is placed on a road that I do not intend to travel. Instead of taking the 2nd exit at the rouandabout to ShPt2, I will take the third exit (UK, traveling clockwise around roundabouts) - ie heading East.

Via Point 3 merely forces the route away from a fast route along the M62 to the south of the map. I will pass through this point.

The only other point is the End Point. The Magenta route is the way Basecamp has planned it and is the way that the XT2 calculates it. I know that it will want to make me take the A1. It is faster and more direct. Nevertheless, I will take the route shown by the cyan (light blue) line.
