Now I can do all the customizing within Google Maps which is quite easy by just dragging the track onto a specific route then creating the appropriate. The whole process was a bit cumbersome anyway by always having to drill in enlarging the Trip Planner map to find a specific road I wanted to travel on only to get that annoying error message when I touched it. But more often I would touch a road on the map and get a message like "Invalid Location" which is clearly not correct. Sometimes I would have no problem touching the screen over a specific road on the map and adding it as an intermediate point to shape my trip. I am very happy I can finally do this as I was having trouble trying to create a custom route directly using the shaping option with Trip Planner itself. When I examine the resulting Trip I notice that the route is composed of the same number of Lat/Long waypoints created in the BaseCamp route and the Step-by-Step instructions faithfully follows the original tailored Google Maps route. Ive also tried importing the GPX file into Garmin Basecamp where it appears successfully but I cant see how to get Basecamp to recognise the Zumo - it doesnt appear in the device list in Basecamp. GPX file with the "Maps to GPX" tool, import the file into BaseCamp, examine the resulting Track file, edit it if necessary, create a "Route" from the Track that I can then send to my DriveSmart 61 which is automatically downloaded into my Trip Planner trips. Thanks garmin for that :) I did sime little research with the. I am now able to successfully create a tailored map within Google Maps, create a. Waypoint GPX generated from PGC fails to import into garmin basecamp: Super desriptive error. Thanks for the clarification about Tracks and Routes made up as a collection of Lat/Long waypoints in BaseCamp. Take a look at the Routes and Track links in my post #2 above, it is all explained on that page, if the Route is generated in Basecamp rather than being imported into Basecamp then the program can pick up names from it's map and attach them to waypounts, see link below :. With a Route you get from one waypoint to the next by following a road, path or other map feature NOT a straight line, so with a Route you could have just two waypoints a hundred miles apart and the satnav will calculate all the twist and turns for you, with a Track you would need many waypoints to show every change of direction. Note: The name of the folder can be different depending on the Garmin device and firmware version.Basecamp produces Routes and Tracks, they are not the same thing, both Routes and Tracks are made up from Lat/Long waypoints BUT there are differencies in how you move from one waypoint to the other, with a Track the jump from one waypoint go the next is always a straight line so if you want a curve you need lots of waypoints close together. Alternatively, you can connect your Garmin to your computer via a cable and then delete the Tour via the folder directory in the corresponding folder from your PC: To remove downloaded Tours from your Garmin device, leave the komoot app and find the "Courses" or "Activity" folder on your Garmin device. Note: The name of the folder can be different depending on the Garmin device and firmware version. To do so, you need to connect your Garmin to the computer via a cable and then add the file to one of the following folders in the folder directory. This will download your Tour as a GPX file, which you can then upload to your Garmin device. You can export a Tour from komoot by opening a Tour in your komoot profile on the website and clicking the button ( ) Export to GPS device. Tip: A GPX file can be converted to a FIT file via free online tools. The file format to use may vary depending on the device. In this case, the GPX file downloaded from komoot needs to be converted to a FIT file first. However, some Garmin devices can only read FIT files. Importing GPX files into Base Camp TNYGAARDLCRA.ORG over 12 years ago I have some feedback to hopefully improve your Base Camp application. If your Garmin device does not have the technical requirements to use the komoot App for Garmin, you can download your tours from komoot in the format of a GPX file and transfer it to your Garmin device afterwards.
