New roads visible in Google map but not Garmin Here

[Simon James Hancock]

Hi!
I am planning a Maroccan trip to transfreto my Garmin XT2.
As I understand I have to plan my routes with the Here map in order to transfer the route to my Garmin.
The road is only visible on the Google map.
Can just plan the route in the google map and save it to my garmin as a GPX1.1?
Thank you.
REgards,
Simon

if here does not work for you maybe osm will, you have option to download osm map for your garmin xt2. garmin uses here map. so what you plan must be work on your garmin. i can tell if osm would work for you but it is a option map for garmin.

@Simon-James-Hancock...if you wrote about "Google map" - do you mean google map layer in MRA rootplanner?
You need to know:

• in map layers, you can select different ones; also google map. But this are only graphics for better information and doesn't have effects to route planning

• but in "options", you can select OSM, TomTom or HERE. This are different routing engines (with map data). You can plan a route by engine you prefer, then may switch to another engine to compare, if the route line is still the same. That's an advantage if you woul like to share your route to others, which uses different navigation devices.

In your case - if you want to transfer your route to your Garmin device - you should use the HERE routing engine for planning (map layer doesn't matter). But please use enough waypoints, because after transmitting to your Garmin device, still the device is going to interpret your route. This can end up in a slightly different route in the Garmin device...
