Garmin upload issues

[Dave Reaves 0]

Recently there has been an issue with Garmin downloading my My Route app routes. When imported into my Garmin XT it says it cannot calculate the route. My Route has not changed their gpx. So it appears the issue is on the Garmin explore site. Looking forward to a quick fix.

Explore is unpredictable in how it reassembles route components for calculation. If you've been bit by the infamous "cannot calculate the route", I'm not aware of a quick fix. The ultimate answer is to remove Explore from the process and perform manual wired transfers of your routes into your Garmin. That's the only way you can guarantee clean Garmin side route recalculations.

You don't say what Zumo you're using (XT/XT2/XT3) or what app (Drive/Tread) you're using for route transfer. Eliminating Explore is a bigger fix than I can address here. As a start, there is an exceptional topic here that addresses the subject. Look specifically at reply #11:
