![]() There is absolutely nothing wrong with the way your group distributes the routes. They can be used for that - but if you do, make sure that they are in a place that you will definitely be riding through. They are not intended to be put in a location simply to pin the route onto a particular road. They treat them as somewhere that you most definitely want to visit. Garmin often referes to Via Points as 'Destination'. Or better still, not have it there in the first place. The only way of getting the Zumo to not take you back to the missed Via Point is to press the 'Skip' button. But if you ignore the instructions and join the magenta route AFTER the missed point, then the Zumo will continue navigating ahead. If you miss out a Shaping Point when riding, yes, the stanav will try to take you back to it, and it will calculate a new route to get you there. But Via Points are treated differently from Shaping Points. I suspect that you meant that if you add a route point in Basecamp and you do not visit that point when it is in the Zumo, it will then continue to try to take you back to it. However, I suspect that you weren't referring to the skip function that is built into the XT. If it is 'Skipped' in this way, the stanav will never take you abck to it. 'Skip' is an option on the later Zumos that allows the next shaping point or via point to be removed from a route - so that you don't have to visit it. Any place where you simply click the map in MyMaps is not passed to Basecamp at all. They get passed to Basecamp as Waypoints. You can add such points without them having been Waypoints. If you add a Waypoint into a route, it can be defined as either a Via Point or a Shaping point. You can add extra in BaseCamp but be advised, if you skip one it will cause trouble, trying to make you go back to the waypoint you skipped. In this case the whole route will change from the original that you had in MyMaps. If the route is allowed to recalculate, all of these points are lost and replaced with ones which define a newly calculated section of the route. ![]() And this will remain as long as the Zumo does not recalculate it. They are the things that ensure that when a route is transferred to the Zumo, the Zumo receives exactly the same magenta line as was produced in Basecamp. Or in this case between the start and the end. ![]() They are points which form the shape of the route between pairs of shaping / via points. You cannot see them on the map, but you can see them if you load the gps file into a text editor. Instead, the route consists of what Garmin refer to as GPX Route Point Extensions. Neither can they be used for the data display on the Zumo screen to give distance to Via or time to Via. Although the waypoints are transferred to Basecamp and they are shown on the map, the waypoints do not form a part of the route itself - so they cannot be made into Via Points which will alert you as you approach and arrive. On the video the original route on MyMaps has a load of Waypoints. The route that you get when converting the track to a route doesn't have any shaping points either. Track points are just a dots on the map, joined together to appear as a curvy line.) In Garmin Speak, those three types of points have very particular meanings, and they behave differently when navigating with the Zumo. (I know this sounds to be nit-picking but that isn't my intention. I know what you mean - but being pedantic, tracks do not have any shaping points or Via Points or Waypoints. Tracks have a lot of shaping points.There are only 2 waypoints. ![]()
