I understand clearly
There's no Export GPX command available though.
I'm using Mobile XT on Windows Mobile 6.1.

If i remember correctly, go to your device memory, go the the garmin folder, there is a file name "GARMIN_WPT.NVM", this file store the waypoints you had collected or created.

Not sure anyone know about this..

The Custom Avoidance that you set earlier (if any) in GMXT are actually store in GARMIN.NVM (E:\Garmin\Apps\Symbian\).
I noticed it last week when my GMXT hanged and go back to default setting after i OFF my phone and ON it back... and found that all my ERP custom avoidance setup were gone!!
I've used a lot of time to make the ERP avoidance.

Luckily i remember that i've backup earlier the E:\Garmin into my PC. I try to copy & paste to test every suspect files and finally found that my ERP custom avoidance setup are stored in GARMIN.NVM.

Today, i think i should share my ERP custom avoidance to those who are interested.... but try it at your own risk.

First you need to do is to backup the whole E:\Garmin folder in case any problem happens.
After backup, you may just copy this new GARMIN.NVM and replace your GARMIN.NVM.
After that, switch ON your GMXT... it will goes back to default setting (select country, language..etc). You just need to set this for the first time you switch ON your GMXT.
Then, go to the Avoidance Setup to check whether the ERP avoidances are there or not.
Example: 6pm~8pm 36 (operation time + ERP Gantry #).

There are total of 66 ERP Gantries avoidance in the file.

My GMXT version is 5.00.50.

And the platform should be for Symbian S60 OS.
