Garmin Explorer stuck when uploading large .gpx file

Glad for you.
Just curious. How did you manage?

Since Explorer didn’t work for uploading the file, I used Garmin Drive to send it to my navigation device.

I'm using https://gpx.studio to create routes, and it works great overall. However, the GPX file it generates is about 7MB in size. I can't upload it to Google Maps, and my Garmin Zumo device also refuses to accept it – it's simply too big with too many points.

Does anyone know how I can reduce the file size while keeping the route intact and making it compatible with my Zumo?

The TRACK in the .gpx contains over 18000 track points. Tracks for the XT cannot exceed 15000 track points.


I've never used gpx.studio, but I would look for a setting to restrict the number of points.

Or simply split the track into two shorter tracks. It looks like it is too long to comfortably complete in one day.

EDIT: gpx.studio has a tool to reduce track points called Minify
