Hi all,
Sorry if this has been covered before (I did search) but considering I work in IT and am usually pretty good at figuring stuff out I'm a little stumped.
I have 2 questions:
1. I read somewhere (and now can't find it) that if you import a GPX into the Nav6 it will navigate you along the route, but if you accidentally go off course, it won't recalculate back to get you on track again. Is this true? I'd be utterly dismayed if this was the case especially considering how new the Nav6 is and how expensive it is lol Coming from a TomTom Rider 400 I just assumed (perhaps wrongly) that this would simply work in a similar fashion? I use this all the time so kinda hoping it's wrong.
2. I can see that you can copy a GPX file to the Garmin via the PC, but I'm rarely using a PC and when abroad I have often downloaded a suggested GPX route and just imported it either to a MicroSD card using my phone then straight into the TomTom, or uploaded it through the browser into the TomTom site which has then automatically sync'd to the device, but I'm unable to find a similar way of doing this? I can see that you CAN do it using the BMW Connected app but I don't want to use the TFT for navigation, it's why I purchased the Nav6 (that and my TomTom was getting slower as it was 3 years old).
Thanks in advance.
