GPX route transfer to Zumo XT not working

@Don-Stauffer

When you go to trips on the XT and choose import via the menu?

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master The new route does not appear on the list in the 'Trip Planner' on the XT. I see previous routes that I have transferred, but I think the process is failing before that point.

I'm getting the same failure using two different devices. The same version of the Drive app works for others. Opening the file using the App or the website (is there a difference?) produces the same error. A hard-wire (USB) transfer does work from my Desktop using the MRA website and Connector app. Tracks do transfer properly.

The only thing I can think of is a hard reset of the Zumo. The software reports as up to date. I can re-import my saved locations using the Garmin Explore website, so it will not be too inconvenient.

Thanks!

Can you share the url of the route? Make sure it is set public

[Don Stauffer]

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master Certainly.

Hi Don,

Always place the waypoints on the route line.
See also points 6 and 10
Then try again

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master Route has been updated, the start and finish were based on actual street addresses, but I moved them to an on-street location. I fixed the other off-route waypoint as well.

But still no change in the transfer to the Zumo, the track imported, but the route failed.

@Don-Stauffer

mmm, strange.
Have you linked Garmin Explore in the app?
Yes, then uninstall the App, reinstall it and skip the Garmin Explore step.
If it still doesn't work, then reset the XT to factory settings.

hi @Don-Stauffer

I had a similar issue a while back.

try this ir worked for me. Uninstall the drive app from you device.

after you reinstall the drive app, and start to go through the process, when you get to the page that asks about installing explore click "maybe later"

this works for me

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master Interesting. I uninstalled Explore and Drive. I restarted the phone just on general principles. I then re-installed Drive, logged in using my Garmin account username and password.

During the re-install, I was not prompted to install Explore. I do not see that it automatically loaded without asking.

Anyway, the end result was the same, tracks transferred, route failed. I repeated the same test with my Samsung tablet, which did have Explore installed. With the same result.

For testing, I have been using the route I shared, but the transfer has been failing with every route I have tried in the past couple of months.

Thanks to all for suggestions, I'll reset the Garmin Zumo as a next step.

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master Success! I reset the Zumo to factory default settings and cleared all user data. The Route and Track info are now downloading to the Zumo as before using the Garmin Drive app.

I re-installed Explore on the phone as a test, and it did not affect my ability to download routes.

Many thanks to Hans, and to all who helped me resolve this issue. User support is a great benefit to using MyRoute-App!
