Transfering Routes to Garmin XT - SD Card
-
Hi, Is it possible when using the export function of MRA to my Garmin XT to store the route on to the SD card directly? Am I missing how to do it or is it not possible.
Thanks any advice appreciated. John -

Hi John, by default the gpx file goes to the XT.
What you can do is: Save the route as (gpx 1.1 (Route, Track and POI)
or
Do NOT enable the MTP setting Mass Storage Device, then the XT will not be seen as a disk, but your SD card may be.
If that does not work, then export the route via the connector and transfer the gpx file via the explorer.
This for a Windows PC!
For a Mac it is slightly different, search the forum if you have a Mac. -
