Re: Waypoint Limit?

I just Googled it. Are shaping points just a Garmin thing? I think I saw that Garmin allowed about 125 shaping points per route.

What’s the difference between a shaping point and a waypoint?

Now I’m really confused.

Re: Waypoint Limit?

I confess that I don’t know what shaping points are. Is that where you indicate no toll roads, use fastest route, etc.?

I will Google it; thanks.

Re: Waypoint Limit?

I've used the app quite a bit now and know the answer. The "Connected" app can handle a total of 50 points; i.e., the Start, the End, and 48 waypoints in between. I know 50 points are a lot, but if you are leading a group ride on a day trip and you want to make sure your GPS takes you exac...

Re: Confused About Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Connections on the 1250 RT

The diagram above from professorb makes sense to me and that is how I am connected. Thanks for the info. I'm having two issues: 1. I keep losing the wi-fi connection; three times yesterday in less than 20 minutes. I've seen on a YouTube video that the "BMW MOTORRAD Connected" app needs to ...

Waypoint Limit?

What is the maximum # of waypoints that a corrected connected TFT/cell phone/BMW Motorrad can handle?

I see that on a 1250 GS the Navigation VI manual states that the unit can hold 29 waypoints and the final destination. I am hoping the RT handles more.

Confused About Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Connections on the 1250 RT

Can and would someone please point me to a detailed description of the various wireless connections between the 1250 RT TFT, a smart phone (especially an iPhone), and a Sena equipped helmet?

Does the GPS/TFT System Accept MyRoute-app Routes?

I am considering going from my Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special to the R1250RT. One thing I am very happy with regarding the Harley is that I can use the very robust MyRoute-app software to plan my routes, and the bike's Boom Box GTS will accept the route without any issues. I am finding mixed inf...
