Extrex 30 uploading routes

[postierich]

When plugged into my laptop it shows that the Garmin has the route loaded when I disconnect and try and find in tracks there is nothing there wtf am I doing wrong ?

Have you uploaded it as a Track or a Route?

Have you told windows to "Eject" the device before removing it?

On a Mac its strange it shows the other persons tracks on the unit but not on my lap top uploaded a tcx and a gpx but not showing on the unit but says its there on the Mac

On a Mac, I download a gpx TRACK to the desktop then simply drag and drop into the correct file / location on the Garmin.

is it a GPX file?

I have occasionally saved MMO files and the garmin wont show them

OH ans do you mean it wont show them on the map or it wont show them in route manager bit?

Sorted decided to finally upload successfully

I definitely prefer routes with limited way points, but I'm in the minority.

Most people appear to prefer the breadcrumb track approach.

Is it a 30x? They can transfer route wirelessly between devices (realise this may not hep you now but has been handy in the past!)

On a PC you just drop the GPX route in to the GPX folder (not new files folder like on an edge) you can search for tracks and routes separately on the etrex menu - which confused me for a while when I first got mine.
