Thanks, I will have to investigate that further, probably is it the track that you see, and when you drive the route it will be under the routeline

It worked fine for 8-10 days ago - if I try to disable the GPS satellite, and simulate the route on the device, the problem is also showed.

I'm not using tracks, as i like the via and sharping points options.

From the Dutch XT FB group

You probably haven't converted your track to the trip planner. Nowadays you can also choose 'Go' when you select the track. You will then get that dotted line to the start or nearest point, but no further indication. You should start the route from the trip planner and not from tracks.

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master

I’m using the trip planner (as shaping and via points are nice) - the dotted line is as you stated from where you right now to the first (via) point.

I’m not using tracks and convert them, as I then will lose the points benefits.

The issue I referred to, is the calculation between the second last point (sharping or via) and the finish (via point) marked by a checked flag.
(All in the trip planner)

My workaround, right now is to place 2 points nearby the finish flag.... Looking forward for a fix.

Sound "good" - and as your status is instructor, you probably have access to elevate this issue to the right programmer people at MRA ?

@Henrik-Müller
I don't know if this is a Garmin or an MRA issue, as I only see this on the XT and not on MRA Navigation. I'm going to test this by putting a route from Garmin Basecamp on my XT.

[Henrik Müller]

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master

If I make a new route on the XT device in trip planner, it works as it should.

If the problem is in the XT software when importing GPX into trip planner, MRA must report it to the Garmin SW team, as MRA probably have more “weight” in the approach than a bunch of users...?

[Hans van de Ven MR.MRA]

@Henrik-Müller
Then they probably already know at Garmin, and this will be solved with one of the updates

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master

Hi Hans

I’m writing the route works if you program the route on direct on the XT device in trip planner - so the Garmin own internally route calculation works.

The issue is starts when I import a ROUTE from MRA into trip planner, then the strange “off road route” between the second last and the last point appears.

I’m glad you have seen it yourself from MRA - How did your test with Basecamp go ?

[Hans van de Ven MR.MRA]

@Henrik-Müller
I have not yet tested with a route from basecamp ...

[Hans van de Ven MR.MRA]

@Henrik-Müller

With a route from BC no problem, given the placement of the next to last route point, it is probably due to the distance between the last and the next to last route point that this will occur.
I added an extra route point and now the route continues as usual.
I'm going to test this further.
I'm going to place this with the developers.
To be continued.

@Henrik-Müller

Hi Henrik, the route from the last waypoint to the end point is not calculated correctly, that's why you see either the dotted line of the track or a straight (direct route) route line.
It has been reported to the developers, they may need to make a minor adjustment to the .gpx file for the Garmin XT.

Thanks for reporting.

[Henrik Müller]

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master

Thanks for your effort - looking forward for this.

A little wish, at the export “connector program” it would be nice if the program remember which GPS/ file format you are using, so it’s preselected...

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master
Have the developers responded, are they also able to reconstruct the scenario?

[Hans van de Ven MR.MRA]

@Henrik-Müller

They will work on it.
