BMW connected navigator does not work with MRA GPX files,

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master Hello, i have find the solution.
At first make your way on your computer and when y've finished, close it (don't export, just close).
On your cellphone, open MyRoute and go to "itineraire", find the way and select "export", choose .gpx 1.0, download and after choose export, choose Connected BMW and in connected, you have 2 choices, you must choose the track with the more points and after select import.
You find your way in track importation.

That's sad. Synchronization is one of the features that BMW promotes.

I did all that, the gpx file is added in the connected app, but not in the connectedRide Navigator.
The connected ride navigator can handle routes with routepoints, so I don’t use the track

Still testing….

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master
Did a test drive today, 30KM, 14 training points and 3 via points in the route. Route saved as a gpx 1.1 file and placed from the downloads folder on my PC in the routes folder on the Navigator. You can then import these routes via the Navigation menu. A route and track file is imported. Started the route and drove the route without deviations.

2nd picture the planned route, first picture the recorded track placed over the route.

Now I just have to figure out whether the route can also be displayed in the navigator via the connected app and how I get the via points on the screen, perhaps save them as POI..

To be continued again.

Logged in again to the Connected app, so that it was linked again and voila, the routes can be downloaded to the navigator via the app.

So, if you use MyRoute-app, then: Plan a route in MRA, via the MRA app, export the route to the connected app.

I have an RT and therefore use the TFT for navigation.
The export function from MRA to BMW Connected is absolutely fantastic and easy to use (experience since '21)

I am not having an issue importing GPX files to the Connected ride navigator but i cant seem to get it to see the way points in the gpx file. they import as supported points and therefore you cant skip them as they are not way points. any ideas

Maybe you get more information about this when you reed this topic

I have had no issue exporting routes to the BMW Navigator app. However, it is totally useless if you venture off road as the BMW app does nor recognise tracks and will start recalculating. I am just using the MRA app now on carplay with my phone mounted where my NAV 6 used to be. I am going to try the chigee CarPlay screen but it is only 5", if only they made a 7 or 8" version.

I find that if I export my route to OneDrive I can then import it into BMW Connect app and it will work.

@Terry-Weller
You can export the route directly to the connected app via the app

@Raymond-Bayol that works for me too. I have used a dedicated phone for the bike, a Pixel 5, which seems to work better than my regular iPhone, it also fits in the cubbyhole on my 1250rt more easily
