Anyone know if there's a way to export multiple routes at once from MRA as one GPX file

Exporting Multiple Routes at once
Is it possible to export multiple routes at once or does it need to be one by one?

So that's a no....Exporting Multiple Routes at once

Are these routes which connect together, or are part of the same trip?
Yes, it's a trip, all the routes are the routes for each day. I exported the routes, waypoints and trackless from basecamp to the Zumo in the end as it's much easier.
I also imported them all to MRA as a back up, so I can run either MRA on a spare Android phone or export them back to the Zumo (one-by-one!)
That is a downside of the MRA app/web planner is no mass downloads.
The positive side of downloading on the app to your phone, is you also have an offline copy you can share to the Satnav (if using the Garmin Drive app)

You can multi-select up to 10 routes and download them in one through the “save as” option, but they’ll come down as separate GPX files. Not ideal, but 10 times quicker than one at a time.
Yes, belt and braces! I’ve saved the routes as gpx files in Dropbox too, so I can reupload from my phone using Drive.
I keep multiple copies everywhere after a horror show a couple of years ago when Garmin Express erased all my France TET tracks from my Montana and I didn’t have copies I could access! Middle of nowhere, no phone signal, no tracks.
True, but then you still have to upload them to the Zumo one at a time.
Not used a Garmin since my Nav 6 died 2 years ago, but back then I used to multiple-select all the GPX files in Explorer and drag them into a folder on the Nav. It would ask me to import them when it booted back up.
I guess things have changed since then.
No, from Basecamp it’s easy - send as many as you like over with a transfer. The question was about how to export multiple routes/tracks from MRA as one GPX file, and you can’t.
I’m sure you are right. But have you asked on the MRA forum. Quite often the developers answer queries
Yes - the only option is the one above, select multiple routes, download them as a zip file, unzip them, load them to the Zumo one by one
Well there is always Basecamp
I can’t see a huge problem of loading them one at a time. You’ll need to check them individually anyway…..
Which is what I usedWell there is always Basecamp
I know. In the end I did all my routes in Basecamp. The big weakness in MRA is its waypoint/favourite management.
In Basecamp, I imported the Templar sites that Yarkto kindly provided. I put these into a list and then all can be viewed on the map to give an idea of what’s doable. By moving these between lists ended up with a subset that I wanted to visit, created a route with all of them in, and then split that into 10 day routes.
These I then fine tuned, overlayed with the parador hotel locations to sort out kip, and sent th routes, waypoints and tracks to the Zumo with 1 click.
MRA is a back up. I imported all the routes to MRA, so in the event I somehow lose the routes on the Zumo I can send them again, or if I lose the Zumo entirely I can use my back up Android phone, and I can make a new route or fiddle with an existing one in the event of change of plan.
Basecamp is better, except for the pesky fact it has to have a laptop to run it.
Think it depends on what you want to do. Personally MRA does everything I want and I do not get on with Basecamp, and it is no longer supported. Think you do more complex stuff than the average user. It is like everything, use what tools work.
I agree with Berin and casbar. BaseCamp and MyRoute are different products, each with their advantages and disadvantages. BaseCamp (and before it, MapSource) used to be my clear favourite, but its appalling stability on my Mac and lack of even ‘BaseCamp Light’ for use on my iPad/ iPhone put an end to my love affair of years.
I agree. I loved Basecamp and could never understand why people struggled so much with it. Then when me and the wife moved to Mac a few years ago we started having real performance issues with it.
We then discovered MRA and never used Basecamp again. We just planned in MRA and then either used the inbuilt connector to export directly to the BMW Nav, or exported to GPX files which I copied directly into the GPX folder on the Nav.
Then both of our Navs died and we discovered Scenic with WunderLINQ, and in February this year the Chigee. 20k miles later and never looked back. It’s so handy when on tour, being able to use whichever device that’s at hand to make tweaks. No computer required
