Help: Replaying "where I've been" as a route

 

Hey everyone,

My nuvi 2529LMT has the "where I've been" app, which is like a breadcrumb trail of where I've been whether it is on a street or not. I can save this trac log and upload it to Basecamp then convert it to a route and send it back to my Nuvi 2529LMT, the problem is when I send it back it is nowhere to be found on my Nuvi so it can navigate me through the same path I had previously recorded.

I already tried rebooting it, saving the route as a GPX file and putting it in the gpx folder, but still no luck, Has anyone had any trouble doing this?

Look under.....

Look under 'Tools / My Data / Import Routes' and see if it is there to select

First I

First I don't know what a 2529LMT is. There isn't a Nuvi with that model number.

Assuming that your talking about a 2595LMT or one of the other 25xx models, then a route you send from Basecamp should end up in the Trip Planner. Assuming that it does end up there, you should be able to find it by going to Where to - Trip Planner. You should see the route there. I believe Basecamp would have given it a default name of the name of the first waypoint and last waypoint in the route.

As with all the newer Nuvi's there is no My Data area and no need to Import Routes. I think the 1xxx models were the last ones that require that.

jgermann I don't have the tools option, I have settings or apps. I don't have routes but I have trip planner.

t923347 my mistake I meant the nuvi 2595LMT. If I select trip planner I have to select a start location. I can choose from where I am now, address, categories or saved. Under saved I can only see the default Garmin locations, and under categories I have the default Garmin categories such as restaurant, shopping, etc... However I do have other categories option, but It says learn more and I am prompted a Garmin website, as if there none of my files there.

I do see the files on my device through basecamp, I can even replay me traclog. I checked my Garmin GPX folder I only have a current.gpx, position.gpx, & temp.gpx

Been wrapping my head around this one for a while.

Certainly

Certainly sounds like the route didn't get to Trip Planner. Sorry, I can't be of more help as I don't have your model Nuvi to test on.

I do know that you can download the Track Log from the Nuvi to Basecamp but you can't upload a track back to the Nuvi. You say you convert the track to a route and IF the 2595 supports the transfer of routes from Basecamp then the only place I know of that it could be stored is in the Trip Planner.

There is one other possibility, I guess, and that's the route your transferring is only sending the waypoints to the Nuvi. If that's the case that could be what the contents of the Temp.gpx file is. If that's the case then the waypoints from your route may have been installed on the Nuvi as Favorites.

That's just a guess but you may want to load the Temp.gpx file in Basecamp and see what it contains. If it's waypoints, then normally the Nuvi would read the contents of the Temp.gpx file at boot up and incorporate any waypoints in it, into the current.gpx file and they would appear as Favorites on the Nuvi.

Unfortunately I don't have a favorites option, I opened the temp file at http://garmin.gps-data-team.com/edit/poi_manager_online-33_1... and sure enough it is the way points from my route. I even tried loading them with the Garmin POI loader, but no luck as it dosent find the file.

I am able to load POI from addresses I input myself, those worked fine.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I use Map Quest to plan

a route. It sends the waypoint to Favorite and than I use Trip Planner and chose the waypoint from Favorite and I have my route.

I think you do have a Favorites options, or at least you should. Look in Where To - Favorites. As far as I know the Favorites icon appears whether there are any Favorites saved to the Nuvi or not.

I believe his unit calls them "Saved" rather than "favorites"

Favorites

The 2595 does not have a Favorites as we know them from previous units. It is now Where to? then "Saved".

Good

Good to know, thanks. grin

That being the case, Aranda89 - has Basecamp placed the waypoints from the GPX file in the Saved area?

Route transfer

I just created a route with Basecamp and it works fine.
Created the route,
Send to > Garmin nuvi 2595.
Route shows up in Apps > Trip planner.
For some stupid reason the final destination point also shows up in Saved Places.
