**I am amazed that people are still persevering with Garmin’s!?**
MRA to plan the route, put it straight on to my DMD tablet, never recalculated a route once… touch wood!!! I will never ever after so many ruined rides and too a certain extent holidays use Garmin again!
Great article though @steve-jarrell
Yes, Steve wrote a great article. I had previously done nothing with the GPX 1.2 format. Now it's my go-to unless I'm sharing routes with non-supported devices.
As far as "persevering", the Garmin XT2/XT3 units perform functions currently not available in the MRA app. Functions I wouldn't want to live without. The Garmin's can be difficult if you don't set them up correctly, and don't completely understand their behavior. That's why many give up and go to a more generalized phone app approach. Regardless, I'm glad that you've found happiness with MRA on your tablet. You've found something that works for you.
