Garmin 800 not accepting tracks on hard drive

[samsbike]

I used Komoot to work out a few gpx routes around London. I followed the procedure, downloaded them to my pc and then tried to transfer them to the 'new files' files folder on the garmin hard drive. For some reason it only took in 3 of the 5 routes and there is loads of space.

I do run Garmin map's as it came with the unit, but its a pain as I need to have more than just 3 routes. Any ideas as to what the issue maybe?

thanks

I found someone else complaining of the same problem. He discovered that it worked if he did the files one at a time!

Let us know if it works for you too - if not, we will have to keep on looking for the answer!

Don't get 'clever' with Garmins....

I updated my maps with open source ones with a lot more detail as the stock maps had a lot of roads missing.i think I used the guide on dcrainmaker to do it

I've found with some route planning software that if the embedded name is identical in several gpx files any transfers just overwrite each other, certainly using an Etrex 20 or Edge Explore and GPSies (or it was before AllTracks ruined GPSies beyond use).
In Windows right click on a gpx and 'open with' and use notepad to open, use F3 and search for <name> and then check lines with <name>xxxxxxx</name> have 'something relevant and different' for xxxxx.
