Garmin Drive odd behavior

[danham]

I have mostly been transferring routes from BC to my XT using the SD card mounted on my Mac. But several times laziness (it's a pain to get at the back of my iMac to plug in the SD card) has prompted me to use email and Garmin Drive. It has worked fine for trips I'm not interested in storing on the SD card. Until this morning.

The route imported OK according to the XT, but never showed up in Trip Planner saved routes. I tried again, same result. I power cycled the XT and now have two instances of the route in Trip Planner.

Your thoughts?

Hi Dan,

You're sure not to use Garmin Explore?
I always transfer my routes/tracks/waypoint via the Garmin Drive App and this has never happened to me.

Frank, I followed good advice here to never allow Explore onto my system, so yes, this was Drive and I agree it's odd.

I just tested it and the transferred route was in Trip Planner > Saved Trips. Hopefully your experience was just an anomaly in Trip Planner not updating its list. The reboot cleared it up.
