I am still having issues with my Zumo XT NOT following the route designed in MRA completely/correctly. I have added a bunch more shaping points, used the export to 1.2 gpx. It didn't take long before it routed me down a DEAD END ROAD.... I knew the area and just drove by it. I then took another road, thus passing a WAYPOINT. I "skipped" the waypoint via Zumo, it then said it was recalculating.
From that point on, it seemed to ignore any shaping points and followed a recalculated fastest route using the few WAYPOINTS left from there on. The route was useless from then on... ( it routed me 16miles down an interstate until the next WAYPOINT) I don't ever route via interstates.
Since getting back:
-
I have gone back in, changed from Google to the HERE map
-
Added a bunch more WAYPOINTS,
-
then did a comparison with TOM TOM and OPEN maps... They all followed the same route...
MY QUESTION:
Is it normal to skip a waypoint and have the Zumo recalculate even though I had recalculation turned off and taking what seemed like the fastest route using the final few WAYPOINTS?
I am so losing trust between the MRA and Garmin. I have a 4 day 1,000 mile trip through the NC/VA/WVA mountains planned for this Spring. I don't want to worry about the Zumo randomly changing my route.
