I see that it has been 10 days since the last post. I have not been riding so i dont have much to say. But has anyone else had any success with the gps?

 

I used mine and had to revise the file to 9 points. Put it on a jump drive and it loaded. Need more waypoints and I hope they update the software.

 

I found this information on another thread. I have no idea how legit it is, however i am doing the download as i type here. I will not transfer i to the bike until i verify it is correct. This is suppose to be an update for the 6.5.

That's the link , but it's secure. You have to provide your email address and enter the code they send.

 

Okay, I've read all this and thought I had it. I got the correct files uploaded to the bike and started on my trip. However, as was mention here, I missed one of the waypoints... and the GPS kept trying send me back to "touch" it. I cancelled the route guidance and tried again, but it wouldn't let me start mid-trip. How do I start a route mid-trip?

Thanks,

If you cancelled the route, then restarted the GPS with your route it should have recalculated your route where you are going forward, passed your last WP.

 

Christo,

I tried that... it wanted to send me back to the beginning. I will try again this weekend, when I get out again to ride... maybe I didn't do it right.

Thanks,

Ron

 

If another trick is to just select the end point of your route if there are no more WP's

 

I'm curious though - let's say you have 5 waypoints, & you ignore/miss #3. When the 6.5 tries to send you back, what do you do?

If you stop the guidance & restart your route, what are the options available to you? If you restart from the beginning, the 6.5 will want you to go to the first way point - correct? And if you stop the guidance & simply pick you final destination, you won't be on the route you designed with your last 2 waypoints.

What would you do?

 

In my testing of a trip I took to KY about a month ago, when a WP was being tricky, I just went past it, and then restarted that same trip - the GPS knew where "I" was a just recalculated based on what remained on the planned trip. It did not make me go back to the beginning.

This is where I am beginning to see some inconsistencies in the software, or could be the end user. ;-)

Think about it - you planned a trip - from point A to B, with some shapers in there. When you recalculate the route, it knows where you are, and it knows where you need to end up - so it will just recalculate based on what is left on your planned trip.

Do a little experiment this weekend, on a known road, plan a trip, add some WP's, and purposely miss one. Stop the route, get passed the WP, then restart the trip again and see what it does.

 

you need to restart rout from waypoint #4 or it will try to take you back to 1st waypiont
