Re: Viewing GPX files on iphone
I don't know of an app where one could directly view the GPX file. What I do is save my GPX file to the Cloud and then use Garmin Drive app to load to my XT. You should be able to share the GPX file with friends and then they could load to there XT using Garmin Drive. Garmin Drive does not work with ...

Re: Connecting Zumo 396 and Samsung S23
Well I thought I deleted this post but I guess not. So to be clear as I found in another post, the 396 does not support Garmin Drive for untethered file transfer. After finding this post I did get file transfer to work using the bluetooth sharing function of the two devices. Clunky yes but it works ...

Re: Google map to Basecamp
Unfortunately there is no Easy Button. I use Google Maps as a reference and create my routes in Basecamp. I only use a GPS navigation device for navigation on the MC. Google Maps in the car. Google My Maps is a useful tool for storing and publishing routes for sharing with others. The down side of ...

Thanks for the input but I think I need to head a different path.

Installing OpenTopoMaps on Mac
I am trying to install Garmin OpenTopoMaps on my MacBook Pro. I just want to be able to use the Topo maps with basecamp, not on any device. How is this done? I can't find anything that describes or shows this process of installing on a Mac.
Anybody have thoughts on how to do this?

Re: Big trip want to test routes
I thought I posted this so if a similar post shows up somewhere, delete or ignore. It will be an epic trip. We are going to two rallies that are 10 days apart. We live in SE Arizona about 5 miles north of the boarder and heading to Oregon for the National BMW and Moto Guzzi Rallies. A lot of ...

Re: Big trip want to test routes
I learned many years ago not to cross routes and not to make loops with the same begin and end point. Everything I am doing for the big trip has no crossovers or same start and end. I have found that in Basecamp that it routes very strangely. it will take off a highway and on the residential roads ...
