Zumo XT3

Does Garmin changes routes made in MRA? I currently use the Rider 550 and I have to double check every route once it is uploaded into the tomtom software.
So I am thinking of switching to the XT3 -
Normally XT3 does follow the WP’s, also TTR550 BUT calculations and instructions can be different. The only solution is more waypoints !

So I am thinking of switching to the XT3@Sandelsan If you create a route in any tool and export it as gpx file - this file contains only the positions of the route points (not the drawn route line) you have set in the map.
If you then load this gpx file into a navigation device/app they will load the given route points and will calculate a way (route) from one route point to the next point. So, that's the the reason why different navigation devices/apps calculate in result different routes. Because each navigation device/app has it's own algorithm.
The way to force navigation devices/apps to the same result in route calculation is: to set many route points in the planning.

i think it is not so simple to only say more wp makes same route. what also matters in map and traffic info. tt550 uses a track when transfer a route form plan to 550 and will calculate on 550 if it has internet with a maps on the 550 and the traffic info in online. becauses it uses a track it can be different then the XT3 will do but then with wp and also map on xt3 and traffic info. a lot of setting can make orgitional route change on 550 or xt3.
That is why i like idea of MRA Next. what you make its what you get on certain conditions. like if riding offline maps must be up to date. if riding route as track then do calculation online.
