Hi,cab you pleas let us know how you want to transfer it to your XT and when exactly you get the error message?
Greetings

@terry-durkin on my XT I download the routes to my phone and send them to the device via the Garmin Drive app.
-
@terry-durkin When using a PC or laptop, the most reliable method requires connecting to the XT using a USB cable. From the MRA app, use the 'export' feature. It requires a one-time installation of a connector app.
Using the Garmin Drive app wirelessly works as well, but it can be glitchy. The USB method has worked for me every time. I use the GPX 1.1 file type.
Good luck, MRA and the XT can be a very nice combination.

@Don-Stauffer i agree
-
@terry-durkin I use the drive app. Make sure your XT is online. That way it works perfect. It shouldn't make a difference but my experience is that it works best with the XT online

I'm using the MRA app on my phone and, after opening a route, i export it to my Zumo XT using the Drive app. Never had any issues!
I also use the 1.1 GPX file type every time.

Maybe that's the problem in your case i assume?
I normally do it with the XT "online" so thsat i can transfer the routes directly to my XT through the Drive app. Never had any issues working like this. And i always usie 1.1 GPX, i did 1.2 but some routes work just fine but others i had issues with when navigating. So, 1.1 for me.| MRA Gold Member | Routelab + HERE kaart | Garmin Zumo XT | BMW K1200GT | Kawasaki Z650 |

Hello, I have the same problem. The only thing that helps is removing the external memory card, then the XT is recognized at the Notebook and the transfer works.

I also had this problem as well trying to use the Web version of MyRoute-app. Some have given a partial answer but I would like to explain a bit more as I needed to work this out too. The Zumo is designed to interact with your mobile phone. So you need to download the My-route-app onto your mobile phone from the Appstore (I am using Apple ios) and then transfer the file to your Zumo using Garmin Drive. It will then come through as a track which you can convert to a route if you want to.

Maybe as a workable alternative: Connect the zumo with the cable to your phone (use a data cable/adaptor for this) and use the files app to copy the GPX files.

Do you use a windows PC or a Mac?
