GPX Versions 1.1 vs 1.2 for Garmin Visually Explained
-
@John-S-Parry I figured that the recalculation was going to happen and screw up the route. I agree completely with your conclusions including that restarting the route and selecting the closest point as the starting point would have probably put you back on your intended route.
The Garmin has a LOT of gps coordinates in the track that's embedded in the route section of the 1.2 gpx file so it should be able to take you to the closest coordinate to where you are without recalculating the route.
If you test it let us know, and I'll do the same. Thanks a lot for the update!
@Steve-Jarrell I got out again today to run another test of "Up Ahead", but this time without adding/inserting a via stop into the 1.2 route.
For testing, I created a new 1.2 route to simulate a real situation. When I was few miles from my test deviation, I did the "Up Ahead" thing, selecting the via point to route to. This time, I selected "create a new route" instead of modifying my 1.2 route. I pressed "Go", and my new route started guiding me. I got to the new destination without issue. While stopped, I brought my 1.2 route back up, and it immediately presented the starting point radio box. I selected 'Closest Enry Point", and off I went. Long story short, the remaining route continued exactly as originally planned. Success!
I love it! No skipping waypoints or other stuff you have to deal with on the Next app. I'm now confident I can use 1.2 for just about any situation.

@John-S-Parry Awesome!
That makes logical sense (that's not always the case with Garmin)
as the 1.2 gpx route has a LOT of gps coordinate pairs in it so when you selected "Nearest Point" it obviously guided you back to one of those points then you were on your way. That's the way that I was hoping that it worked.Thanks very much for the update!

@steve-jarrell that was a huge typo on my part. It was meant to read “and even if you are not using Tread”. I must have been tired. I’m all Zumo’d out.
