Device cannot calculate a route, using Open Street Maps

[INBOC]

Oh and switch off the NZ map and try doing a route with the Garmin maps in Gotland or somewhere and see how you get on.

Hi, I did a route on basecamp then imported it into XT main storage , turned of so called NZ maps in XT that are on the sd card, then turned all the Europe garmin maps on and all went as I would expect, including getting me there from my front door, see pictures, as always many thanks INBOC

Thank you.

We now know;

1. That the XT is performing OK.

2. That the NZ route is OK.

3. That the NZ route displays OK in BaseCamp.

That surely only leaves a problem within the Open Street Maps, stored on the SD card within the device itself? Or have I missed something?

Ok lets wind it back a bit does your FAT32 formatted card in your XT look something like this.


And on Basecamp with the unit plugged in. I didn't bother putting the NZ maps on my computer.



Is your Motorcycling profile in Basecamp set up like this...you wanted to avoid unpaved roads.



More to come

And to match your XT unit.

Do you have your routes for NZ in a separate lists (I only keep one route per list in a folder for a place or trip.)

Have you made sure that the routes are calculated on basecamp BEFORE you transfer them to the XT? More to come.....

Shall I remove maps from basecamp I have installed as you don’t have them on the pc?

Before you transfer the route to your Zumo open the route and make sure that the turn by turn directions for the route are there.



I sent your route to my Zumo SD card and imported it



It calculated in a flash and appeared in the imported trips list.



And I could open it on the Zumo....with the confusingly straight roads Yip that got me too!



Have you been able to get this far with the route?

I was then able to simulate the route



I made the Zumo think it was in the middle of Christchurch.



Opened the route from the imported list.







And it showed up on the map as planned + the distance from the centre of Christchurch.








You can see that the route has 16 miles added to it as I told the Zumo it was in Christchurch centre

It shouldn't make a difference as you can see from the screenshot above I have several OSM map sets on my PC. But take the map off the PC in case there is a conflict between what is on the PC and what is on the card in the Zumo. The ones on the Zumo will still work but will take a while to load as you move around the map as they rely on USB speed rather than internal storage which is much faster.

If all else fails you can take me with you as a tour guide........I've plenty of time now that I've retired Only kidding of course.

Here goes, formatted card, created Garmin folder, copied map file into Garmin folder, took sd card out of pc. Removed maps from basecamp folder that I downloaded, so basecamp back to original set up before starting into this. Put sd card into XT. Connected XT to pc with basecamp open, checked sd card using windows , see difference? Then went into basecamp map appears to build but does not hang under sd card folder and does not show on map list. Many thanks INBOC

Emm it should look something like this.

 

[INBOC]

These are my standard settings for all trips, and I put all way points in a list that I need for a big trip then build the routes using the waypoints I have created, I also date stamp them so they are loaded in order on the XT and yes I check visuallythe turn directions, as always many thanks INBOC

I know, that’s what I have mentioned, earlier , I see it build with a bar then it vanishes, what I don’t understand is I can go on the XT when it’s unplugged from the laptop and con it into NZ and do a to b routes using the maps,many thanks INBOC

 

[Mzokk]

Have you tried downloading the map directly to a Garmin folder that you have created on the card or did you download the map to your PC and then copy the map to the card?

 

[Mzokk]

I think you may be right and there is something askew with the card/download process.

There are more than one things 'askew'...

Agreed but I’m following the osm site guidelines I believe, I used the free download not the subscribers download, do you have any ideas ?
Many thanks INBOC

Downloaded zip fille straight into sd card on laptop into Garmin folder, then unzipped it in there, then put unzipped file into Garmin folder, then moved all other things out, unfortunately same result, I’m going to do a reset on basecamp and a check of the XT garmin express, wish me luck , many thanks INBOC
