TomTom Rider 550 "No Route Possible"

[ImbaImba]

Just a warning: As noted earlier in this thread, you'll get a "No Route Found" if the track takes you to places where no road has ever been mapped. If you want to do that, you'll be better off with handheld 'hiking' device.

I am not seeing the uploaded file. Was it supposed to be attached to your message #19? It is possible that this system may require you to make another couple of posts before it allows uploaded files.

What will be the origin/source for your route information that you want to use?

Source is website, TET (trans euro trail) hungary.

If you want to do that, you'll be better off with handheld 'hiking' device.

But when I put the same GPX file in the Garmin Zumo XT, it worked perfectly fine; as far as I know, that's not a handheld hiking device. Also, when I used the same GPX file in the Osmand+ Android app, it worked without any problems.

You can find this file on a their website (TET) and check it—it won’t read sector 5 and will alter sector 4. Those are the only two sectors I tried. Then, you can use the Osmand+ application to see what I’m talking about.

The Zumo depends upon access to the Birdseye aerial imaging system for its 'off-road adventures', and along with this, shares a great deal more than it first appears with the Montana handheld. If you tried to load the H.gpx file into a standard Garmin road GPS, it would have the same difficulty producing a route.

That file is indeed a pure <trkpt> style *.gpx file, and will route you where there are no roads, closed roads, or ...

I've looked it over, and it appears that it sometimes just runs you through farmer's fields where there's not even a track to follow. Here is a just a random bit picked out from TET_H-03_20240219

You need to use a device that doesn't care if there are any roads. Most GPS devices do.

"Standard Garmin Road GPS" - lol, is the garmin zumo non standard? Because it can simply follow the preloaded track you call it non standard? Try with Osmand+ android app, it is more useful than tomtom 550, application on android device is more useful that motorcycle device, designed for navigating 2 wheelers, insane. If you don't like off road adventures, it doesn't mean second/first (I don'n know, I'm new to this) most popular navi manufacturer shouldn't support gpx tracks. In my opinion, TomTom must do better.

"A track is one of the methods TomTom allows, but it is a completely brain dead bread crumb approach, and will route you through closed roads and stopped traffic if they occur anywhere on the track." - you words, you pretty much don't understand how important it is, there are hard enduro bikes that are street legal and there are public roads in many countries that allow "off road adventures".

Yes. Devices that can be pre-loaded with aerial imagery data are fairly rare.

Taking a bike on a track such as the one I show from your file, above, is very much a niche market. You need a niche device for that.
