I had a look at the setup of my XT as stated earlier I haven't used it for actual navigation for over a year now preferring instead to use my phone connected to my Africa Twin's built in screen.
First of all, I wish for your eye procedure to go well.
After completing the XT 1.2 off-route recalculation and being returned to the route, I decided to go off-route further ahead, but this time chose not to recalculate when prompted, which triggered the route to pause. After meandering around for a couple of miles, I manually re-entered the route line further ahead and my XT route came back to life. This is my normal method for handling off-route situations.
Then I hit the section of the route with the twisty section where HERE maps the road incorrectly. Because 1.2 is essentially following the Track of the MRA developed route, there was no alert for divergence. On the XT, it showed me riding the Track line where the road actually exists and then showed where the Track/Route converged up ahead. No drama, and no intervention. It's very slick.
Using 1.1 for this route in previous tests, this triggered an off-route alert that completely tripped up the MRA phone app running in parallel to my Garmin. The app tried to recalculate to the next waypoint but ended up in a loop where it was constantly trying to reroute me backwards. I had to stop and restart the app for it to continue.
When stuff like this happens, it just reinforces to me that the app is not yet ready for prime time. I admire the tenacity of the MRA Development team constantly chasing down errors and putting out fires, but it never seems to end. I'd like to feel that I have the option of using the phone app instead of my Garmin, but the confidence simply isn't there. I sincerely hope genuine app stability will somehow be achieved in the future.
