I've got some routes for a trip I am about to do but for the life of me can't get my Drivesmart 50 to see them. They are in .gpx format so should work.

Tried copying them to the SD card and to the device itself.

Help.

If they're in a valid format they should be placed either in the GPX folder on the device or in a folder named Garmin/GPX in a correctly formatted card, FAT32. The trips should then appear in the Trip Planner app under unscheduled trips.

If they don't the file format may not conform strictly to the GPX standard. Where did they come from?

There must have been problems with the files themselves (not sure what program had been used to create them) - simply opened and saved them using Tomtom Mydrive, saved them back to my PC and then put them onto my Garmin and they now appear in routes.

Thanks for the input.
