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. I have been using MRA seamlessly with a TomTom ever since MRA was released.
