Please can someone save me here....I'm going mad!!
I have a GPX file (below) that contains a series of route points and waypoints using the standard GPX 1.1 Schema.
When I import this to Garmin Explore (browser) I only have the option to import as a track or route. I select route, as I have an InReach Mini2 (although I could equally have a higher spec device, right?), and it strips all tjhe waypoints off every time!
There appears to be no other way to import waypoints to the Explore app either, so it seems I have to recreate them all within the app. Surely not?!??!
Is Garmin that averse to folk using other apps than their own to generate GPX that they make it simply impossible to use external files, even when they use the global GPX standard schema?!!
I genuinely expected better from such a brand name. Experience MASSIVELY soured - unless someone can point out how I do this without masses of manual manipulation!!
Are Garmin that bad?!?
