Export 1.2 gpx

@Bepperling
Which Navigator do you have the 5 or the 6?
With the navigator 5, it uses the NT map, it doesn't work, just like the older zumo's.

Good choice on updating to the Garmin XT.
I have had mine for a while now and in my experience the plethora of recent updates by the MRA Devs have made the XT even better.
Happy days.

My Navigator 6 had ghosting. My BMW dealer offers as an exchange only the XT, because the ghosting occurs again sooner or later with a new NAvigator. Because the XT is a new device, I have again a warranty of 2 years.

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master I just wanted to agree with other replies in this thread. In the past I would have the formation points (blue dots) and waypoints (flags). I would often put multiple waypoints (flags) that I may stop at and I wanted announced, knowing I would stop at some and skip some depending on how the day went. In the past I would have the one skip button on my Zumo xt and I would skip waypoints (flags) but because of all the formation points (blue dots) the overall navigation would stay intact.

Now when I first load the trip into my Zumo the track looks good and the navigation is accurate even without the blue dot formation points. However the first time I skip something on my route the Zumo recalculates everything without any regard to the formation points that would have been there in the past and I get a direct route to my next flag point rather than the planned route between the flags I had.

I bought the garmin xT specifically because of how MyRoute-app and the xT worked well together, with this change to the beta 1.2 export my Zumo really no longer does the things I need it to do. If you could restore the functionality it would be greatly appreciated.

This was resolved.
Use GPX 1.1 (Route, Track, POI)
That will give you the Via Points and Shaping Points on the XT.

Thanks, will change my export choice going forward.

Hello, I read all the posts carefully and I am very grateful for the good tips.
I come to the conclusion that I have to choose the export variant «Garmin (GPX 1.1)».
I tested it and saw that I see shapingpoints and viapoints on the Zumo XT, as desired. If I choose the export variant Garmin Zumo (GPX 1.2), I see only the viapoints.
For testing, I saved the GPX 1.2 variant and opened it in Basecamp. After a recalculation of the route BC tinkers a completely wrong route - and exactly that happens in the device.
With the GPX 1.1 variant, shaping points and viapoints are present and the route follows the track exactly.
What advantage does the GPX 1.2 variant have? I see only one serious disadvantage, namely the lack of transmission and visibility of the shaping points.

Hello Robert,

Gpx 1.2 is a so called inflated route. If you use the 1.2 file turn off recalculation in your Zumo.
Don’t use it in Basecamp because then you won’t get the route as planned

[Robert Bürgisser]

Thanks for the quick reply Hans! Aha, that is a good insight. So I can assume that the route was stored correctly in the device after the export with GMX 1.2.
I will test both possibilities (1.1 and 1.2) and report.

@robert-bürgisser
Yes, you can assume that both files, gpx 1.1 and gpx 1.2, work correctly in the new Zumo. Make sure you transfer the files with the connector or save them as from MRA to your Zumo.
