Query when setting waypoint

As mentioned in previous post, it happens some gets lost when using shapping and waypoints. There is even a case that i had only start and finish and nothing in between.

Its why its safer to use 1.1 and waypoints only.
When preparing several XTs and XT2 for group touristic rides under same gpx / same process you see wierd things.

Again we import over tread app - there is share function for all devices. To ise exporter device per device or similar for 20-30 devices its a bit too much

@Con-Hennekens said in Query when setting waypoint:

if you want to drive a route, use GPX1.1
if you want to drive a track, use GPX1.1
if you want to drive a track that includes the viapoints, use GPX 1.2

So instead of mass-enabling viapoints, just use GPX1.1 instead.

gpx 1.2 is a route-track with viapoints, the route-track will be converted to a route in your XT(2)

If you only have a start and end point, you have the track.

If you compose the route properly, a GPX 1.2 also works perfectly, I don't use anything else.
If you use the connector, a GPX 1.2 will also work well in an XT2

If you use the Tread app, it is best to use the GPX 1.1 and its track, because the Tread app and the Garmin Explore website cannot yet process route files properly. A track is processed properly.

I also have the XT2.
You can do it using the Connector or Garmin Express with GPX 1.2
Happy to provide a step by step if you need it?
Green Flag is the Start, Checkered Flag is the Finish, Orange Flags are the Intermediate Via Points that @Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master mentions in his posts.

Screenshot below shows the Track and the 6 Via Points in the XT2.

,
I reckon it would love it, 90% country lanes, you know, the ones with the grass/moss in the middle.
Whilst it wasn't raining today there must have been a lot of rain overnight, the Tiger1200 Rally Pro got a bit dirty, as it should.
I ran the route with MyRoute-App not the XT2 which is my back up.
Haven't had to use the XT2 once yet.

@Lynchy67 guys thanks for help but we cant use connector in moto tour company….10-20 devices sometimes need to be managed on the fly and then all synced asap. i know how to use connector.
As said all is well I adapt some things and use only 1.1

But its all about original post not about files and connectors - it would really help to have this option.

And here the gpx 1.2 route, Track and via points
Black = Track

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master

As the XT2 is my back up (I use MyRoute-App on Android as my main device with the full Quadlock set up) I never really bothered with the Track before.
I guess I should add the Track for those unforeseen blockages that require me to go off route and then re-join further ahead.

Thanks for the reminder.

@Lynchy67

The XT2 is my BackUp too.
