@Don-Stauffer said: One Garmin feature that I appreciate is weather radar, using the Drive app. The traffic notifications are useful as well. The phone stays tucked in the tankbag. Can you comment on those features in the XT3? I'm assuming the Tread app has similar features to Drive. I too would like to hear from @thomas-neumeyer regarding his XT3 perspectives. I love mine, and it's always good to read other perspectives. When I initially configured my XT unit years ago, I only used the Drive app briefly. I loved the ability to use the app to transfer routes, but I had BT conflict problems using other Drive functions. I'm going to attribute that to user error (me ) with the setup I had using multiple Cardo/Sena connections. At the time, weather and traffic didn't have much value to me, so I deleted the app. Basecamp file transfer was good enough. The XT3 uses the Tread app, which covers what the Drive app provides to the XT. My first thought was not to install Tread at all, given all the horror stories of destroyed/altered routes. But I found that you can install Tread without enabling external storage (i.e. Explore) and still get full weather/traffic/music/phone functionality. As you would expect, Tread is a more refined than Drive given that its 6-years newer. It works very well. I especially like the traffic alerts which have saved me more than once from getting stuck up ahead. The downside of not enabling Explore is that you're on your own transferring routes into the XT3. I use Window File Explorer to copy the GPX into the XT3. It's a simple drag-and-drop process. You're already in MRA Routeplanner on the computer anyway. Plugging the XT3 into a USB port to be seen as a file system is not rocket science, and the process is quick to perform. I copy into a Garmin/GPX folder on an inserted SD card within the XT3. It's a different subject, but there are advantages to using a card vs. XT3 internal storage for route storage. Some users seem to get away with using Tread/Explore and not report problems, and that's great. It's just something I don't want to get caught up in.

@Marinus-van-Deudekom Iphone 14, ik heb goed internet en wifi, Kan op alle websites inloggen. De telefoon aan en uitgezet, on- en offline kaarten geprobeerd. Zojuist de App verwijderd en opnieuw geïnstalleerd. De melding blijft

Du machst bestimmt irgendwo eine lange Pause

@Michael-Doherty-0 I was in the same situation as you....as I said, send an email to support with your requests..... You'll definitely get a reply

@stevedo-6-0 I can hope and without asking, I we might not know. It’s not a showstopper but would be nice to get back. I’m aware of the history of GPX1.2 and the standards so can maybe expect to be fobbed off but you never know.

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

Any chance to get another sd card to test?

@Brian-McG als ze het verzoek nog goedkeuren

Welcome! Hope your trip goes smoothly! Enjoy!

Fijn al die informatie @travellexxie Heel blij mee. Ik ga straks met slecht weer alles op een rijtje zetten en leuke routes maken adhv de bijdragen van iedereen. Dit scheelt mij weer veel uitzoekwerk. Thnx allen.

@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 !
