uite simply I’ll stick with DMD as at the moment as it’s faultless, now looking for wood to touch!!!
The route I plan is the route it follows and guides, no laying tracks over routes, deciding between 1.1 or 1.2, putting on and off a device to make sure it’s accurate, WiFi or wired, juggling what map layer to use… I find it incredible as I said before that paying customers are willing to jump through these hoops just to get a device to accurately follow a route
Andy, good luck with DMD and your upcoming trip.
At some point, I'd like to read a comprehensive compare between an XT3 and DMD2 for on-road navigation. At its heart, DMD was originally developed primarily as an off-road navigation system. I've done many searches, and clarifying information is spotty.
My nature is to test and experiment with competing navigation options. It's my main retirement hobby. Unfortunately, DMD2 usage in the USA is minimal. Some of what I've found suggests DMD2 POIs are a weak point relative to the XT3 capabilities. There might be other little disqualifying bombshells waiting to be exposed too. I'd need to test myself before concluding anything. The devil is always in the details, which the Internet isn't always great at exposing. Over time, I've jumped through all the hoops for successfully using XT devices, so I'm not anxious to start that process with something else. At least not yet.
In any case, report back after you conclude your trip.
