GARMIN MOBILE XT FORUM SOFTWARE

the garmin mobile xt software is almost identical, and it does offer offroad routing. has always worked perfectly for offroad riding with the garmin topo maps. after importing, i get the choices of recalculating the route as faster, shorter or offroad. I've been using the car-based gps, a nuvi 1490t to do this for the past year. any garmin mobile xt users got an answer? i'm wondering if this is a software glitch in the latest version garmin has on their website, and i need to find an older version? any help appreciated!Įdit: it is garmin mobile xt version 5.00.20wp

I've tried all sorts of combinations of settings, googled everywhere to see if others had this problem, with no luck. i choose yes, but it then only shows as one short straight line, the rest of the route is missing! i found if i backtrack into the tools section and choose 'off road' again under preferences, it will then ask if i want to recalculate the current track as off road. Manage my data / routes / view routes / 'offroad test file' / edit / route preferenceīut the only route preferences is shows are 'faster time' and 'shorter distance'. okay, so i try to edit the file (called offroad test file) as below: I've selected 'off road' on the menu ( tools / settings / routing / route preference ).īut any imported off road route is automatically recalculated to follow roads instead. i can transfer the file (done in 'direct routing' in mapsource) to the phone and it does show on the screen. i know my way around garmin software and gps units, been using them for a few years now.īut i cant get it to correctly calculate an offroad route. Downloaded garmin mobile XT from the garmin site and installed successfully on a samsung i900 smartphone, running garmin topo maps and windows CE 6.1 operating system.
