Garmin gpx troubles. Advice needed!
Posted: Sat Sep 09, 2023 5:57 pm
I have an old Edge 810. I've been using it for a couple of months for navigation. The longest ride I've done was about 100km using a gpx provided by the event organiser. The turn by turn direction and map navigation worked fine.
Anyway i planned a little route this morning on Komoot and transferred to Garmin Connect and then synced with the edge. It appeared on the Edge but looking at the summary there was no date. The route didn't appear on the map and there was no direction. So i reverted to my Fenix watch using the same gpx and it worked fine?
I'm riding over the whole of next weekwnd so I thought i should check the route loads ok onto the Edge. Same problem! Aaargh!
What am I doing wrong? I've factory reset the Edge but no luck. I've tried sending the gpx to OS maps and then exporting again back to Connect to see if things change. I've also tried letting Komoot import the gpx again and move it to known paths to see if that jihhers things about. And I've tried loading and much shorter route also created in Komoot and this worked fine.
The only thing i can think of is that there are too many waypoints or something like that for the older Edge but not for the Fenix. Googling has not provided an answer. So I figured there is some BB knowledge about this.
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks.
