While editing a route, you can change the color of the route line to differentiate from the rest of the route. Use the Flatten Elevation tool to even things out.Ĭheckout examples of using the Flatten Elevations tool. This also affects tunnels, where you’ll see a spike in elevation as the road enters the earth.
The elevation data set used for routes measures the surface of the earth, so large bridge spans that are a significant height over the water often have an elevation dip as the scanning satellites recorded the water level rather than the bridge itself. If you delete part of the route that includes the start, the start will be moved to the first part of the route that was not deleted. Click on the Green Dot at the beginning of the second section to rejoin the two. The Add to Route tool will pickup at the end of the first section. Use the Delete Selection tool to remove the selected route line and metrics from the route you are editing.ĭeleting a section out of the middle of a route will split the route into two parts. Fine tune the selection by clicking and dragging the blue side bars. You can easily move them, so you just gotta be in the region.Use the elevation profile to make a selection by clicking and dragging. Type in A & B locations - for temp start and end. Go to Google Maps My Account (with an account.) For example, you mark start and end points on the map and then drag the black line between the two points and place it over the roads you want to travel on. Meanwhile, I have a few more test rides to do.īTW, when I say "route lines", I am referring to the lines that show the roads you want to travel on (in Rever they are black). One thing that I have found is that you cannot have a ride (like a one day ride) that starts and ends in the same place or the ZUMO does not work at all, with tracks or routes - including waypoints.
However, it depends on the shape of the route. I have done some test rides in the neighborhood and I do get turn by turn navigation using tracks (you have to convert them into "trips" in the ZUMO - I don't know if that makes a difference). n-gps-unit), and their advice to me, says to use tracks and not routes to get the ZUMO to follow my roads. The funny thing is that their instructional video (. I have looked at half a dozen different on-line route planning web sites and have chosen a subscription to Rever ( ). I am no expert on basecamp & found these really useful. I have attached a link for some very good, clear & concise videos on route planning by a fellow motorcyclist. Routes on the other hand give you turn by turn navigation. Michael, as others have said basecamp is the best way to plan your routes, 2 important points to remember : tracks are a line on the map that you follow (bread crumb trail) no instructions.
Edit kmz file garmin custom maps software#
Will the ZUMO XT do the above? If so, which computer based (not cell phone) navigation software will do this and transfer the route/track to the ZUMO XT? Do I need to use ROUTES or TRACKS? Or will I have to place waypoints at every turn to force the Garmin to follow my route lines? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks. If I stop somewhere in the middle of the ride and turn everything off, when I turn it back on I want it to put me back onto my existing route at the nearest point where I am now, not tell me I have to go home and start all over again. I want the GPS to re-route me back onto my route lines if I stray from the existing route (example: you go thru construction which detours you off the course).Ħ. I want to be able to edit the existing route and insert waypoints, stops, POIs, etc. I want advanced turn-by-turn navigation.Ĥ. I want the GPS to follow the roads that I want to ride on, not go where it wants to go.ģ. I can design and edit the trip much faster and easier on a desktop.Ģ. I do not want to design the route on the little screen on the Garmin. I want to design the route on a desktop computer (not the Garmin) and import the GPX file into the Garmin ZUMO XT for use. I want to use my new ZUMO XT on my motorcycle and create custom routes/tracks that go on MY roads and not the ones that the Garmin wants to travel.
