garmin nuvi 55,65 adding custom routes

Post by Tramp »

I was asked by a mate if it was possible to add a mapsource/basecamp custom gpx route to the car based nuvi 55/65 models...

the older nuvi was easy just copy and paste the gpx file into the gpx folder on the garmin..then start satnav and import file then chose custom routes :whistle: ..

the new garmins do things differently :P ..you copy/paste as before to the garmin gpx folder on sat nav when connected to the pc [windows]..

then disconnect and start the sat nav ....then chose the "APP" icon then you will get a squirly thing going round :laugh: :laugh: ..meaning its doing something..this is loading the custom route..when its done it appears in list..click and it displays the turns and a map with route on..press go and away you......GO (thumbs)


this is not mentioned on any garmin forum that i know of :ohmy: :ohmy: ..
