Waypoints not transferring to BMW Connected.

Re: Waypoints not transferring onto Zumo XT

I have an R1300RT, and the navigation system is giving me all kinds of trouble. First, when I make a route in "myroute" with several waypoints that need to hit along the way, they don't show up when I transfer the route to the BMW Connected app. It routes me correctly to my final destination.

Secondly, it takes me quite a few attempts to get the map (from BMW Connected) to appear on my TFT screen -- then it will later cut off without prompting, leaving me with NO map. Very frustrating!

Does anybody on here have a similar experience and figured out how to solve this riddle?

@Steven-Peyton How many points does your route created in MRA have?

The BMW app can only process 50 points (regardless of whether via or shaping).
Any route with more than 50 points will be displayed as a track.

@Peter-Zehentreiter Thanks for your response, Peter. My routes never exceed 10 waypoints, yet they don't transfer...

@Steven-Peyton I do it as follows.
Android!
Open the route on your smartphone, generate GPX 1.1, then open it with the Connected app.
The Connected app offers three options:
Track, bases, waypoints.

Then just sync it with your motorcycle.

iOS ...
Here you should not use GPX 1.1 but ‘HD Boom Box Route’.

Another note about the map material.
The BMW app uses Tom Tom.

You should also use Tom Tom in MRA.

One more note about iOS:
The name of the route must not contain any umlauts, such as äüö, for example.
Otherwise, problems may also arise.
