[BaseCamp] Way Point limitations Question

[DENNIS O'DELL]

Hi Jerry,
Your welcome. You and others certainly have helped me. I didn't really want to mess with the PONI/killer either.

I have two other Zumo devices, 665 and BMW Nav IV, so I will try the same experiment with them to see if this is consistent.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen/With best regards,

Dennis C. O'Dell
