Garmin XT reflecting planned routes

[Richard Jewell 0]

Hi All, Thinking of becoming a gold member - oo er missus!
Can you tell me if this will allow my XT unit to reflect my planned routes exactly as they are shown on MRA planner?
i.e If I add a WP/VP and change it's colour to reflect a POI or landmark info, will that then be shown on my XT?

Regards and Merry Xmas to all.

Hi @Richard-Jewell-0 sorry to say that the XT will not reflect any colour info from MRA
I believe all transfers from MRA to the XT are done via GPX format files & the colours of points is not part of that format

If you want to see the full glory of what you plan in MRA on your navigation device you need to be using MRA Navigation, you then get to see all the colours & even pictures you attach to points are available

...as @Brian-McG wrote: there are so many benefits in using MRA Navigation p.e.:

• no need of file transmission for routes (MRA Routeplanner synches automatically to MRA Navigation)
• all waypoint colours will be populated on map in MRA Navigation
• all names and extra notes you have entered in waypoints will be shown and be spoken in MRA Navigation
• etc.

So, take the chance before end of year and buy a lifetime license of MRA Navigation (as long as the price is cheap) - and sell your old fashioned Garmin on eBay
