GPX Woes

Former Member over 13 years ago

I have 3 Garmin units: Nuvi205W (use on motorcycle), Nuvi 755 and a Nuvi 40LM.
I have spent approximately 4-5 hours (literally) mapping out a set of four legs of a route for a trip this weekend. I have used the Honda Trip Planner, Base Camp and Map Source. I keep getting GPX files on an SD card (tried two different cards) but neither of the GPS devices seem to find those GPX files/routes. I have read/reread/re-reread etc the instructions for exporting the files and I have gotten exactly nowhere.
Can someone tell me in short, concise terms how do I get my GPS to accept those 4 GPX files. I would like to have them on the Nuvi205W but I don't believe it will accept exported files for use. My second choice would be the Nuvi 755.
Thank you.

The 205 and the 40 cannot load routes from gpx files.
The 755 can use routes from gpx files, but you have to import them first via Tools > My Data > Import Route from File.
Make sure that the 4 files are in the map Garmin\GPX on the device.
