Yesterday we attempted to download our route,in GPX format, to our Garmin 800. Nothing transferred. But a number of weeks ago we were able to do it.
Suggestions!!
Thanks

Hmm - that seems odd. Could you give me a link to the route you’re trying? Do you know what browser/version you’re using?
Here is one of the routes that would not download
http://cycle.travel/map/journey/67442
Forgot to say we are using Chrome.
Ok - thanks. What exactly is going wrong - can you download the file and the Garmin just doesn’t recognise it, or...?
Not trying to interfere, but I can download the route fine in TCX format (using Chrome) but when I try to load it in to GPSVisualizer it says there are errors, checking with an online XML validator it comes up with some badly formed tags and some maybe spurious (?) elements in the notes tags i.e. <->, correct the errors and route loads fine into GPSVisualizer at least.
That sounds promising. I’m away from home at the moment but should be able to fix it later this weekend.
The situation is this. I was able before to download the TCX file to my Garmin 800 and it worked. Now it does not load. The same procedure was followed. As I am not tech savvy that is the only way I can describe it.
As we are currently touring we may have a rest day tomorrow and we will try using a different browser
Back home and I can see what the problem is. I'll try and fix it tonight.
I've just uploaded a fix - is that any better now?
(Steve - thanks for the heads-up!)
Hi Richard, yes works fine now in GPSVisualizer at least, glad to be of assistance - keep up the good work.
Will give it a try this evening as we have a good connection.
Nope! It is still not working for us. We are using a Garmin 800 and we can download TCX files from Ride With GPS with no problem.
Any suggestions?
Hi Kathy - I've just tried the following:
and that works fine (apart from the fact I’m not actually in northern France right now… sadly!). Does that not work for you?
Will try again!
It worked!
One question, the notification of an upcoming turn does not seem to function for us. Any suggestions?? Also is there a way to make a donation to your site?
