These BOAT’s were created in the the UK Ordnance Survey App not in MRA. Hopefully Garmin will will add the ability to directly create a Collection the Garmin Zumo XT at some point.īelow is an example of 70+ BOAT’s only, around Salisbury Plains put into a single collection. To create a collection on the the Zumo XT you have to create it in the Garmin Explore Website (You cannot use the Garmin Explore App for this!) and you must also have the Garmin Drive App open whilst creating the Collection in the Garmin Explore Website. Very often however there will be also be Bridleways and Footpaths in the same vicinity that Motorcycles are not allowed to ride on. The world is not 100% Microsoft centric and by failing to mention issues relating to other OS you cause a lot of unnecessary frustration amongst “annoyance” with the Zumo XT is that you cannot directly create a “Collection” on the Zumo XT.Ī Collection is particularly useful for grouping off-road routes (In the UK these are often called “Green Lanes” or using the official terminology “BOAT’s” Byways Open to All Traffic which Motorcycles can use) The recent blog post about transferring routes to a Zumo XT makes no mention that the method outlined cannot be used with the Mac OS. When you create blog posts please specify which system OS the post relates to. I do have one request for the wonderful MRA people. I'm sure others have figured this transfer method out but I can't see it documented here hence this post. I can and have uploaded previously created routes to the Zumo whilst sitting (stopped I might ad) on the bike. Really not any more difficult than connecting the GPS via a USB cable. The Garmin Drive app on the phone or iPad picks up the export and transfers it to the Zumo XT. Create the route on the Mac (I prefer to do this on a big screen where I can see more detail particularly with complex routes) then simply open the MRA App on either my iPhone or iPad, open the route previously created and export it as GPX 1.1. Finally it dawned on me that MRA is a web based product. After some searching I found Android file transfer but that requires Mac OS 10.5.x and my Mac is still running Catalina (10.15.x) so that proved a dead end. Job done time to go for a ride.Īs many others have found I was disappointed and frustrated to find that my new Zumo XT does not play nice with the Mac OS. Create a route on the Mac, connect the TomTom via USB, transfer the route to the GPS. Use the slider to move the start/end point and cut the route.I have been using MRA seamlessly with a TomTom ever since MRA was released. When you have many tabs, navigate through them by scrolling horizontally. Swap the tabs to define the order in which the traces should appear and double-click on them to change their names. The Total tab displays information about all open traces merged into one. Switch between routing and as the crow flies (straight lines between track points) when editing tracesĪt the bottom, you can see a panel with information about the traces you import.
