Drive app fails to send GPX file - again...
-
The connection from MRA android app to Drive has worked consistently for me for several years. I'm downloading to a Zumo XT using GPX 1.1. Now it works very intermittently. Earlier problems seemed to be related to a specific version of the Drive app. The version installed now is 4.28.14.
Cable connection to my Win11 machine still seems to work, but the Drive app is about 1 out of 5 attempts. No error message. File is downloaded from MRA, I select open with Drive, the Drive app opens but does not send the file.
Same result using File Manager on the phone. Select the GPX file, open with Drive, the Drive app opens, but does not acknowledge the file, and does not send it to the Garmin, even though the XT is connected to the Drive app, and show that in the Garmin main screen and in the Drive app.
Open to suggestions. I have tried GPX 1.1 and 1.2, uninstalled and re-installed the Drive app. Not sure what else to try.

The 4.28.14 update hit on August 13. A friend of mine is having problems with the Tread app (XT2/XT3) which was also updated about the same time in August. Coincidence?? Maybe. But I'd call Garmin Support to check it out.

@John-S-Parry Thanks for that, I may also try replacing the app with an older version. I have learned how to instruct the PlayStore app NOT to automatically update all installed apps.

It probably won’t help, but I have similar problems from time to time.
Same app version and a Zumo XT. Most recently, at the weekend, I tried to send a route to the Zumo via the Drive app. The app says it’s transferring a route, but the progress bar didn’t move.
Incidentally, it didn’t matter whether the route came from MRA or Kurviger.
Once I got back home and switched the Zumo back on, three routes were transferred straight away, just as normal. So it’s definitely not down to MRA, but rather the interaction between the Drive app and the Zumo.
For me, though, it’s not 1 in 5 – more like 1 in 2.
