I agree completely. I think it's been a valuable learning experience for all of us that use MRA in conjunction with a Garmin device.
Well, Well, Well. I wonder what sort of humble pie you'd recommend?
After having my right eye Cataract sorted last week and after several weeks without riding I thought I'd take a ride and try out my XT using GPX 1.2 without having alternative OSM maps loaded on the device (but not enabled). To my surprise, and delight, I was able to go off route and be routed back using prompted recalculation without the XT recalculating the remainder of the route, or recalculating the route to the next via point. As expected adding a detour to the route will force a recalculation to the next via point but a casual detour does not.
This makes the XT a bit more useful to me again as MRA routes will be displayed as designed rather than me having to check a GPX1.1 route against the track. Thanks folks for raising this subject and triggering me to revisit use of the XT.
