Route not transferring to Zumo XT

[Karl Foley]

Fixed - I did a full reset on my XT. Cleared all user data, re-setup and connected to my phone again.
Files transfer quickly but more importantly - calculate & convert to Trips when asked.
Thank you folks for checking my file. Cheers

Side question - to make sure the XT travels along the route I decided - avoidances set to No tolls/motorways, transfer to a Trip, have plenty of waypoints and have Navigation off-route-calculation set to "off" ? is this the correct setup, without the XT deciding on a quicker/faster route and adjusting it ?

[Karl Foley]

False hope. I successfully transferred one route, left it for a while and the same error (no calculation) on another route.
Looks like I have to reset & setup the XT each time to transfer a route successfully, for the XT to calculate it. Anyone seen this before ?

What kind of reset did you do? A soft reset or a hard reset back to factory standards? The last reset works most of the times fixing strange issues i noticed.

Back to standard factory settings and then AS A FIRST!!! install all updates. And then start setting up the device to your own wishes and needs.

I did a "delete data and reset settings", with no updates (as I am at work). Routes initially load up fine. But after a few tests, back to no transfers.
When at home later, I will do a reset again and then install all updates, and see what happens with transfers after that.
will report back. Thanks again.
at least I know the GPX files work and are good, so that eliminates that part.

Make sure to use the 1.1 gpx file not the 1.2.

did you check if all your maps are good. i had 3 months ago that update did not went ok and i had to reinstall maps with garmin express.

[Karl Foley]

Hi. Did a full reset. All updates installed. Two routes loaded fine. Then turned It off.
It seems that when it's turned off and back on again it doesn't like to transfer.
I tried the route I posted above, known good route, but no luck.
Kinda lost - any other options.

Are all maps (CityNavigator 2026.20 north and south) propper installed and ticked on.
Please check it in the settings on your ZumoXT.

I have imported your route in my ZumoXT without any problems.

[Karl Foley]

@Reinhard-32 yep, all ticked and up to date.

Even my simple route posted above won't transfer. It probably will if I do a full reset and setup again. But that's not workable.

Baffled

Well - the maps are ticked - properly installed?? How do I uninstall and reload them ?

you can not uninstall but you can reinstall via garmin express.

you also can try to remove bleutooth connection and reinstall garmin drive.

also it is good to try to set gpx file off route direct on xt in gpx map. if then the xt sees the new file and can calculate that it has somthing to do with transfer by garmin drive or bleutooth

Before starting your trip, always upgrade, update, reset, control, restart ... your software, iOS, maps, layers, devices, headset, trackers, batteries, tires.... and finally yourself and your mind.
