transfer from phone to zoom xt

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

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

There are a few posts referencing SD card here. I'm not sure if some of the advice given is to use it to store routes on your XT, or not.
My advice is to use the SD card you place in the XT slot. Simply create a Garmin/GPX folder on the card and copy your GPX file directly into it. The XT will recognize it existence, import/recalculate it, and store it for execution. The advantage is that if your route ever gets corrupted, you can quickly re-import it from the SD card and be on your way. If you import into Garmin internal storage and corruption happens, you have to go back to MRA and perform the transfer process from scratch. Admittedly, this a rare occurrence, but the one time it happened to me was at the worst possible instance. As always, plan for the worst, but hope for the best.
In any case, a direct wired file copy (manually performed by you) from your PC/Mac to your Garmin is always the safest method. Anytime you use a transfer intermediary (Drive app, Tread app, MRA Connector), there is a possibility that the process can break. For reasons totally out of your control.

@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 read my post again...
