My route App and Garmin zumo xt2

Manfred Schiess

There are several features that I miss.

Calculation of adventure settings like in Garmin, curves and mountains. The only possible route is via TomTom.
You should also be able to set this up via Here Garmin.
Direct transfer via the mobile phone app to the Zumo XT2. A route should be able to be transferred directly from the mobile app to the navigation system. This works well with a USB connection in the Internet app, why not with a Bluetooth or WIFI connection?
In general, it should be possible to set the maximum speed for the vehicle.

Es gibt verschiedene Features, die ich vermisse.

Berechnung von adventure settings wie in Garmin, Kurven und Berge. Es ist nur der Unweg über TomTom möglich.
Man sollte das auch über Here Garmin einstellen können..
Direkte Übertragung über die Handy App an das Zumo XT2, Eine Route sollte aus der mobilen App direkt an das Navi übertragen werden können. Bei USB Verbindung in der Internet App klappt das gut, warum nicht mit Bluetooth oder WIFI Verbindung?
Allgemein sollte die Höchstgeschwindigkeit für das Fahrzeug eingestellt werden können.

Ich habe ein Tutorial gemacht, wie es funktioniert,,,

Toolkit functions are map-creator specific. HERE does not offer that function and relies on the app-developer to create functions for roundtrips instead. Therefore MRA offers curvy route functions in the app as well as in the route planner. Also you can create your route through the TomTom toolkit, and use the compare function to make your route equal on the HERE map. I don't think any routeplanner has more options for scenic routes.

USB transfer relies on standard filesystem access functions, functions which are simply not available by wifi, and I think also not by BlueTooth. To avoid all these extra layers of complexity device manufacturers have thought up cloud-services from which the (more modern) devices get their data.

In general, it should be possible to set the maximum speed for the vehicle.

This is a good suggestion indeed, one that has been suggested multiple times before. Especially useful for camper/truck/oldtimer use.

After a bit more digging, I've now found that I can export GPX 1.1 in MRA, and import into Tread and it will keep the shaping points, so long as the total number of waypoints in MRA is 50 or less. Any more than that, and it imports both the route and track as tracks.
