@Hans-Rutten said: I have a ZUMO XT. I am trying to create a route on the HERE map. In some places, it does not pick the fastest route from one formation point to another. However, when I select the TomTom map, it does. How do I solve this? There are differneces between HERE and TomTom (and also between these two and OpenStreetMap) in the way they handle the fastes route or the shortest route, I have a Garmin Zumo XT(1) and i am using HERE under MRA when creating routes. The only reason for this is, that the Garmin Map is basically the HERE map with a Garmin overlay on top of it meaning Garmin added some stuff of their own on top of the HERE map. So yes, you should use HERE on MRA for this reason (XT uses HERE). Turn off route recalculation in your Zumo XT. That will help you avoid a lot of trouble! Check this setting: [image: 1784870329835-97380d06-9512-4680-9e49-8ecd6ccd5363-image.jpeg] and this setting: [image: 1784870397688-dcee9aa6-a02f-4613-bd68-75a31c2830a2-image.jpeg] It is best to enable this feature.

@marinus-van-deudekom @nick-carthew That does not explain why in @pierre-c routes always 30 minutes are added up as he mentions. Adding an extra waypoint should not matter i think. Having 10 or 20 waypints on your route should not add extra time. Travle time i belevie is calculated betwene the first and last waypoint. Traffic should not matter either. If a route takes (as example) 30 minutes and you end up stuck in a traffic jam, your travel time between starting point and end point still remains 30 minutes. It's only the realtime what is adding up. And he mentions that there is a difference between his mobile and his computer.

Yes, as a monopoly, you can get away with this! Just like you, every beta tester with an Android phone is now biting their nails, waiting for the long-awaited message!

@Sam-Kramer In the overlay maps select the traffic overlay and zoom into the area of road that the map will not route on. If there is a red/white line this indicates a road closure. You could try turning on the Disable seasonal closure tool in the toolkit if you are using the planning map from HERE.

@Carl-Lee I'm not sure what's going on, but as I've said before, I personally take Tread and other intermediate apps out of the mix and get down to the basics that I can see and understand.... Directly upload the 1.2 .gpx file via USP to the Garmin's /.gpx folder, import it, then look at the results. Using the 1.2 format, the Garmin (XT, XT2 or 3) should not be able to (will NOT in my testing) create a route that deviates from the route that you see in MRA as the Garmin route WILL be forced to follow the .gpx file's embeded track's "breadcrumb" to create the route and disregard the Garmin's own routing logic. If you choose to use Tread, Drive, Basecamp, MRA or any other file transfer method other than a direct USB transfer to copy your .gpx file from your computer's hard drive to your Garmin device's /gpx folder, then you are choosing to accept the ambiguity of not knowing whether or not that the file was properly transferred to the device. If you can't see that the .gpx file that's located on your local drive was successfully copied to the Garmin's /gpx folder YOU CANNOT know for certain that it has been transferred properly. Before anyone slams me with "the xyz app has always worked perfectly for me" believe me..... I understand! Even though you may not be having an issue with your particular configuration and apps (GREAT! keep doing what you're doing!), for anyone who is having issues this is where troubleshooting should begin. Eliminating variables one by one is the first step in troubleshooting a technical problem. Direct transfer of the .gpx file eliminates many of the variables. That's a fact!

enjoy the country side. hope it isn't raining cats and dogs

Dit is SUPER!, ongelooflijk hoe jullie met zo'n kleine groep mensen dat voor elkaar krijgen. Voor allemaal super bedankt en in dit geval Cor-Jan

Ik ben niet meer te helpen, ik ben reddeloos verloren

@Apatrida-2-0 Cuando lo uses, no querrás cambiar. Es el mejor planificador y conjuntamente con su navegador, no tiene rival. Ya hace tiempo que lo uso y ni siquiera exporto los GPX para tenerlos por si he de usar otro navegador... porque no lo he necesitado (por ahora). Saludos, y nos vemos en la carretera (perdon @b0hd1 por el plagio )

@Edwin_M Thank you for sharing our Tool Edwin! Good to hear you like it.

@Lynchy67 It is on the list for major maintenance of the website, just like being able to export multiple routes in one go. Please be patient.

@Garry-Davis exactly, that would have been my second advice, but you are one step ahead. You can choose your beloved app, to count a route to the petrolstation

Hi ! So, the bad news is that Transfagarasan is still closed for now, but it should be opened in the next two weeks. You can check the live cam from time to time: https://www.roxy-world.ro/webcam-transfagarasan Good news is that Transalpina was opened about 5 days ago, some of my friends went there already and confirmed this. Enjoy Romania !
