XT3 File Transfer

[David Fickling]

I just acquired a Zumo XT3. There seem to be multiple options for uploading my routes from MRA onto this device. Has anyone else tried this and if so, what's the preferred method for getting a route out of MRA on the laptop and onto the XT3?

Thanks for your help.

Hi David,
Have you tried export the route to "Tread"?
I assume you connected your new XT3 to tread also.

Use the connector and gpx 1.1 (Route, Track, POI)

@Albert-van-den-Elsen Hi Albert. Yes, I tried that and it does seem to work. I'm just trying to find the slickest and most reliable method with fewest possibilities for things to go wrong and I was interested to hear what other people use. On my old Zumo 660 of course there was only one way to transfer a route and that was by cable, which could be a bit tedious - you have to remove the device from the bike, open the back compartment, plug in the cable, connect to the laptop and hope it recognises the device USB connection....do an export from MRA, and so on. I'd like to find a method for the XT3 which is a bit less clunky.
