Re: Routes Prepared in MyRouteApp - Used with XT

In your experience, If I export a track to the XT, then convert that track into a track-trip, do I have to have recalculate turned on to get the directions to get back on track-trip or does it play nicely and not recalculate just try and get one back on the planned track-trip route. As previously d...

Re: Routes Prepared in MyRouteApp - Used with XT

jfheath as usual many thanks for your detailed info, you certainly go a long way to making sure your advice is explained in great detail. I had a play with MRA the other day and I had already found the way to change hand to teardrop etc, it's very useful, although I did not really know the differen...

Re: Routes Prepared in MyRouteApp - Used with XT

gpx v1.1 only sends the Via Points and Shaping Points. The XT has to calculate the route between the plotted route points. I had a play yesterday using the iPad and MRA and sending the route via drive app on iPad. I have never done this before as normally just use BC and a cable. I wonder if you or...

Re: Is there a magic way of connecting the XT to my laptop?

I use MRA to plan a route, then plan A to B to C to D to E etc etc, I then save this after I have played with it, and routed it via the roads I want to visit, I then drop it into BC, look through it make sure it's the same, then sort out any via points if needed then upload using a cable, I don't do...

Re: Is there a magic way of connecting the XT to my laptop?

Ah thanks for clearing that up, I don’t seem to have the problems you are having sorry I just delete my routes on the actual XT, usually do this after I have finished my tour. I also use MRA as well as BC and again don’t seem to have the same problems. Maybe the garmin gods are on my side. Sorry not...

Re: Is there a magic way of connecting the XT to my laptop?

Kinda makes sense, f you want to transfer a gpx file into the gpx directory on the device not sure what a volume has to do with gpx file isn’t that what is transfered via BC, ie route or track etc. If you wanted to transfer music files to the sd card why would you need a volume to put music onto an ...

Re: Can't connect to the Garmin Servers or Garmin Express

it has just occurred to me, after writing in another thread. when I bought my XT it would not connect to my Mac, I thought to myself, OH bugger now what, but what I did was completely uninstalled GE, quite easy on a Mac, and I downloaded it again from Garmin and then all was well. just another idea,...
