transfer from phone to zoom xt

[Mzokk]

From last night a new version of the app is available. 4.29.28

Having used the app for me there appears to still be a bit of an issue with a refresh of the app before it functions to transfer a file. I initially could not get the app to function but found that opening a second instance of the app then closing it initiated the send function. Previously the app opened and the send file function was initiated after a request to share a file was initiated. I have subsequently found that minimising the app then opening it again also causes the app to work. I have no Idea if this is associated with a setting on my phone or its a bug in the new iteration. I sent this reply to Garmin last night when I finally got the app to transfer routes. I haven't received a reply yet.

Further to my last e-mail. I can get the app to work but to get the app to recognise the file to be transferred I have to share the file with the drive app.....nothing happens. If I the open a second instance of the drive app then close it the file dialog appears in the first instance of the Drive app and it transfers to the ZumoXT.

Hope this helps?

I had to restart the app and now everything is working fine, tablet and phone.

Ik was reeds terug gegaan naar een vorige versie en ga die denk ik nog wat houden, tenzij er een meerwaarde is aan de nieuwe versie. Wat mag die dan eventueel zijn?

@Kobutex-Motorreizen Can you explain how I can get my routes to my Zumo XT using a cable? I'm leaving this Saturday and have all my routes on my phone, but like to have them on the garmin too. Especially if it's raining. How do I do it?
Thanks very much for your help.

@Mike-wiruth Connect your Garmin to your computer.
Drag or copy the GPX file to the GPX folder on your Garmin.

On a Mc use an SD-card, not a cable.

@Peter-Zehentreiter in my opinion unnecessary complicated. Just connect the XT to your computer. Wait until the device and sd are recognised then use the connector in MRA to export the route using the 1.2 format. Works like a charm

@Marinus-van-Deudekom Well, that's not exactly complicated...
I'm simply describing the standard method for transferring GPX files to a Garmin device.

I realize there are different ways to do it, and I know how they work.

@Marinus-van-Deudekom MRA connector and XT with sd-card. I wish you lots of succes, most of the time it will not succeed with a sd-card.
Save the route(s) and drag them, in case of more routes, to the XT itself (I use good old Total Commander for it), de SD is in my case only for music. In case of emergency (XT has to set back to factory settings or hard reset) you can put them on your XT with your phone and the Drive app.
I agree with the 1.2

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Travellexxie What I meant was if you want to tranfer using the cable connection wait for Windows to recognise both the XT and the SD card. Don't trafer the export to a SD card. You're completly wright about that.

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Peter-Zehentreiter There's alway more ways to get where you wanna go

@Marinus-van-Deudekom What do you mean by "use the connector"? What connector are you talking about?
Thanks,
