Hi all
Currently out here in Ainsa. Having some gps issues.
When I download the. Gpx file from zonazero website the route shows in full on my OS app. It does not show in full on Garmin Connect so when i try to send it to the device i only get some of the route.
Strangely, some gpx from the same website work fine.
Is this something i can fix or more a problem with their website? (on holiday so no access to a laptop, only my phone)
Thanks
Could be too many waypoints, I seem to recall some Garmins have a relatively small number allowed!
Is the file a "route" as opposed to a track? Could it have exceeded your garmin's capacity for waypoints?
Can you upload it into bikehike.co.uk or ridewithgps.com and then export out as a track to try that?
*darn, too slow!*
You need to save the "route" as a "track" on Garmin Basecamp (other softwares may also do this) before uploading it to your device. it strips it back to the basic line you need to follow to navigate, no waypoints.
I routinely forget and recently convinced myself my aging etrex was borked - i'd accidentally loaded a route rather than a track.
Edit too slow as well....
Upload it to RideWithGPS and export again as GPX track, but tick the "reduce waypoints" box.
There's probably a third party website that can do this for you (reducing the waypoints).
If you have a laptop with you then try copying the GPX directly to the Garmin/NewFiles folder on the device itself. I find Garmin Connect ropey at the best of times and it frequently sicks up routes that other apps don't mind.
It worked! Bikehike was the solution. Thank you so much
