Naming Of Routes
-
I have a lot of routes for our upcoming tour. After a few months of creating them I wanted to test them using my BMW Connected App on my phone.
All of my routes have a / in the name.
Went into the app on my Samsung S21, downloaded the app. It said downloaded, but when I went in the Connected app, they were not there. I have done this many times with no issues, albeit without a / in the name of the route. My first action was to see where the MyRoute was downloading them too. In the config there is no setting to set where to download the files too. The same is true when I used the app on my IPad. On the IPad it puts it in a directory under MyRoute, wherever that is.
Is it possible to set on your phone or IPad where the files are downloaded too?
After a bit of head scratching I wondered if it was because I had a / in the name of the route, as is not possible in Windows/DOS. So I tried to rename the route using the app on my phone and couldn't find it anywhere.
Is this possible?
I did find a way around it by exporting the file directly into the Connected app, but that was a bit hit and miss. -

Open a route in the app > Click edit (pencil icon) > Click Show route details (blue bar at bottom) then click Route information
The route name can now be edited.
Always willing to help if I can.

@D-A-Wakefield If you have several names to change, it's easier on the website.
Open your library and click on the edit button, only one click per route.
