MapSource can read Current.gpx from your device. But, you may get some problem to load the file if you add new tags in your 'Favorite'. If this happened you need to use gpsbabel to convert gpx to gdb format.
i

Code: Select all

 gpsbabel -i gpx -f Current.gpx -o gdb -F mycurrent.gdb


Now you can load the mycurrent.gdb in your MapSource. From the sample, my 755T able to log in 1 sec interval. nuvi change it's log interval intelligently based on the direction.

Thank you guys for all your feedbacks.

Initially, I got an error message when I tried to open the GPX file using MapSource. But after I cleared the trip log and did some travel, I managed to open it using the MapSource.
:tq:

The Custom POIs file you used contains an MP3 audio alert embeded, and I think the problem lies when the unit tries to play another MP3 (audio alert) while playing an MP3 song file, a limitation I guess. The solution is to create a Custom POIs file without an MP3 file embedded.

Hi all 760's users,

Could you please test this on your device. Calculate a route from Kota Bharu, KLT to Tambun, PERAK. Any error message?

Also see viewtopic.php?p=12081#p12081

Thanks.

Thanks.

Using Nuvi710, I've got same error result as yours. I experimented with a few more destinations, and got mixed results. The strangest thing is when I reversed the route, ie. Tambun, PERAK to Kota Bharu, KLT, no error whatsoever. :shock: Refer here: http://www.malfreemaps.com/viewtopic.php?p=12407#p12407
