Selecting and opening this file on the Nuvi opens up the route. Having then disconnected the Nuvi, I then started up the device, selected Trip Planner and waited for the egg timer to stop spinning. I put the file into the GARMIN/GPX folder. I then selected and copied over the 1.2 version of my gpx file (the one created using the app version of MRA). I connected my Nuvi with my iPad and waited for the Garmin device and its SD card to show up in 'Files' on the iPad. So there seems to be some difference to the files created in the app version, compared with the web version.Ĭ) Transfer of Routes into my Garmin Nuvi 3490 There was no distinction between them, no differentiation between Via or Shaping points. However, they all transfer across as announced 'blue flag' waypoints. As expected, the 1.0 version only transfers the two Via points, the 21 shaping points again do not show upīut when I then imported the 1.2 version into Basecamp all 23 Via and Shaping points transfer across into BC. I then tried importing the routes into Basecamp on my laptop, using the gpx files created using the app version.

The 'shaped' route is not transferredī) Transfer into Basecamp, using gpx files created using the app version of MRA As expected, both the 1.0 and 1.2 versions of the gpx files only transfers the two Via points. I imported the routes into Basecamp on my laptop. I did this both for the web based version of MRA and the app version of MRA on my iPad.Ī) Transfer into Basecamp, using the files created in the web version of MRA Using my iPad, I saved the route in MRA as both v1.2 and v1.0 and saved these files to the Cloud (my iDrive). The route has two Via points (the start and the end points) and 21 shaping points (to produce a convoluted route!). I created a test route in MRA using the web version, as I prefer the 'landscape' view available in the web version (the app on my iPad defaults to a 'portrait' view). I have been playing around with MRA to check out the compatibility of routes created in MRA with my various Garmin products.
