Help for users of Garmin sat navs

No, I was asking can I download one of your gpx files from MyRoute-App on to my pc? It looks like you have to pay up for Gold membership to do that.

 

If it's in a zip you need to extract it first into a folder on your PC. You can then import the gpx file in to BaseCamp (or MyRoute)

 

So, went to the NEC bike show on Monday, bent the ear of one of the Triumph reps there, suggested they provide a download of all their dealers as a gpx file so that owners can load them onto their sat-navs as POI's (useful when away touring).
What a good idea says the man, "hope you don't mind me taking the credit for it" as he makes a note on some paper. (will it go straight in the bin as soon as my back's turned, I wonder )
Anyway, if you're off to the show make the same suggestion, the more they hear it the better the chance of it actually happening.

 

Personally the myroute-app doesn't really work for me, so being a tight arse no point in being a paid up member..
IMO Basecamp is always going to be the best tool for Garmin users to create their routes on (as a stand alone user), then the only issue when sharing a route with another user is that the settings would need to be the same for both users (i.e. if creating a route while set to "shortest" and then 2nd user has set to "fastest" then route might change between waypoints).
It's a shame the forum doesn't allow uploading of .gpx files, it would then be easy to just share routes within the forum without the need for a third party app.
I assume the Myroute-app is Tomtom derived, so Tomtom users are obviously going to have a different perspective.
There is always going to be issues sharing routes between Garmin and Tomtom primarily because they're using different map sets. (and settings)

 

My route app allows you to save a route in a mutitude of formats also directly to Garmin and tomtom if you have the Gold version. You can view friends tracks, or anyones who has made them public, and save them as routes then modify them to your requirements. Its pretty versatile once you have got the hang of it

 

Stop using Tyre and go onto myroute-app.Com.

Never could understand tyre, tried it once years ago, gave up.

 

Tyre works fine for me with my TomTom. I use it to create gpx files which load up as tracks perfectly. Rather like the way Trye uses the familiar Google Maps and the way you can drag the route as many times as you like to get it passing the places or along the roads you want it to.

 

See my comments a few posts above (no point in repeating them), I tried some time ago and just re-tried to upload a .gpx file directly to this forum and it's still not an allowed format.... which is a shame. Don't see why as the files need not be any bigger than posting a photo.
....But I may have found a work-around, I've just put one of my old holiday routes into a zip file and the forum seems to have accepted that ok for uploading. If you load the extracted gpx file into BaseCamp (or MapSource) Garmin users should see a series of day by day routes, ......whether it loads into TomTom ok is another matter!
I get the impression that Garmin routes need far fewer waypoints to be reliably used/shared amongst other Garmin users than is necessary with TomTom?

 

Who's Tucker? Just added you to the myroute-app group.

 

Job to tell from the view you've posted, any that are used in routes that you want to keep should NOT be deleted.
I usually set up a list or folder in the collection panel to separate my various projects (eg " hol2019, hol2020 etc) which helps to keep things tidy / easy to find/follow.
You should find a filter at the bottom of the panel which shows or hides the various types of data - waypoints - routes - tracks etc.

 

Well done
It's not rocket science once you get the hang of it.
