Transfer, View & Follow GPX Files On Garmin GPS

[BuzWeston]

After spending hours trying to figure this out, I found your video. Ten minutes later, I was all set. THANK YOU!!!

Best video ever on a very difficult matter. Garmin should hire this person to create their video tutorials. Thanks a lot for this great video and great infos.

Thanks so much for posting this! My Garmin 396 works very similar to this and the Trip Planer portions of this was a big help! Got turn by turn now....and I’m the right direction! 👍

Stumbled across your vid and used it to successfully transfer a file - thanks. Ironically, it's for a ride around Lake Winnebago, beginning in FDL.

Really appreciate you doing this video, it helped a lot, and by far was the most complete, end-to-end process. Most videos don't explain that last steps about converting waypoints. Garmin has not done a good job at making gpx easy. And they don't even cover it in detail in the manuals. Even between models they have different processes. One thing they did improve, for my 2729, there is no "Tracks" icon, so I go right to trip planner (which I guess they built in the waypoint converter) and the waypoints are there. Thanks again. Dave

This video really help me to sort how to have the track working. Many thanks from Belgium. I will enjoy the Trans European Trail route now !

[PedalDevils]

Cool to see a Wisconsin route as the example, that's where we're from! Trying to figure out how to load the GPX for the Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail (TWAT) right now! Hopefully I can get this method to work out, thanks for the video!

Thanks for the awesome tutorial. One of the best that I've ever seen. You actually make it look easy! Thanks again!

Thank you so much for your video on how to accomplish this!

Of course things have changed a little bit in 6 years but this was a good enough presentation that I was able to figure the rest out. But yeah, it seems too convoluted for what should be a simple drag and drop. I suspect the Garmin (Nav VI) doesn't have enough horsepower (memory and processing speed) to do the conversions. I think I'll use Basecamp for planning routes, getting a Google route into gpx, etc. etc. was just a little much.

Amazing fella - I was lost. You won me when you clicked tracks. Thanks so much :o)

[araskriauciunas]

Thank you for an awesome video! I was very close to tossing the Garmin to my dog to use as a chew toy! :-) Didn't realize I need to use Tracks instead of Trip Planner. Looking forward to a great day of riding off the beaten path in PA tomorrow!

Thanks for the tricks. Didnt know about the off-Route Recalculation. That option kill a couple of trips I have done before.

[Skyethur]

do you know how to copy newer software version i have my old nuvi 1450 and when i put address it does not show me option of multiple routes my nuvi 2455 does show me 4 routes. is the software version can be copied to older garmin gps?

[skinnie]

Thanks a lot for your video. Unfortunately my Nuvi 3597 doesn't have the tracks app. I need to convert to trip to basecamp and send it to it can be "read" by the nuvi, still your video saved my day

[skipole]

Good video, well done. Thanks for the help!

Do you know if I can take a Garmin custom route with 30 via points and send it in some form to other people to use with an app on their cell phones?

[ChefGuruJeff]

Great information can't wait to use it. Are you using a basic Google map to plan a trip and when you turn off navigation guide if you go off the planned route does it lead you back to the nearest point on your planned route or does it make you constantly take a U-turn and go back to the part of the route you turned off? Thanks.

HELP my Garmin GPS doesn't have "tracks" in the app section is there a way I can download it

[bfruehauf]

Just found this video... late to the party, I know... but is it possible to select more than one route at a time from Basecamp to send to the device? Thanks, great tutorial.
