Followed your instructions ,apart from I left the recalc route option turned on.
This time I exported the route as gpx 1.0 instead of 1.1.
OK, so if you did that it will just be a fluke if my instructions work at all, as is it definitely intended to work as a 'track' ie with recalculation turned off!
I've just run another test export from MRA to my Nav V and rewritten my instructions in a bit more detail - see how this works for you and let me know what happens:

1. Connect up the Nav V to the PC and "Export" from MyRouteApp using the MRA 'Connector' facility to export your the route (call it, say, "myroutename"?) using the "BMW Motorbike (GPX 1.1)" dropdown option - the PC will say "Busy", then "The route is exported to your device. Enjoy!"
2. Unplug the Nav V from the PC and switch it back on if need be. The Nav V will then say "New routes found. Import to trip planner? (No/Yes)" - press "Yes"
3. The screen will then show a tickbox and "Route - myroutename". Tick the box and press "Import"
4. Check 'Settings' > 'Navigation' > to verify that off-route recalculating is off.
5. On the Nav V home screen, press 'Apps'.
6. Choose 'Tracks'.
7. Select the 'track' of your choice. (it will be named "Track-myroutename"
8. Click on the 'wrench' on the top left.
9. Tick 'Show on map'. and press 'Convert to trip'.
10. Press 'Start to finish'
11. You can now modify the name if you wish to. (I usually delete the prefaced "Track-" here)
12. Click on 'Done' below on the right side.
13. Garmin will calculate the route and save it in the 'Trip planner'. (it will say "Myroutename is saved to trip planner". Press "OK"
14. Go back to the home screen, press 'Apps', and then 'Trip planner'.
15. Select the converted track, and on the next screen you will see a display of the 'Total Distance' and 'Travel Time' - check they match expectations.
16. To double-check, press 'Map' and you will see the complete route onscreen.
17. Press the 'back' arrow bottom left to revert to the previous screen, and press 'Go'.
18. Select "End" in the following screen. and press "Start"
19. Garmin will now calculate the route.

Well,

I have not tried the new method that you have posted yet( only just read it ), but the route I loaded yesterday worked fine, announcing each waypoint as it was being approached.
Alas, I have other issues(see my post in electronics section).

Thanks for your input Freddy and the other members who contributed, I really appreciate it.
I get really anal and pedantic when stuff doesn't work right and at the minute I am pulling out what little hair I have.

reading through the thread again, I think the main thing you changed compared to your original post was the selection of where to start the route - the Garmin will ask this if you are not actually at the EXACT start point.

If I preplan a route e.g. from a prebooked hotel, I usually set a waypoint not too far from the hotel as you rarely park exactly where Garmin has the hotel waypoint. When activating the route I then select this waypoint (first one after the start point) when asked by Garmin where to start the route.

By selecting the end point as the answer to the original question from the Garmin, you are sending an instruction for it to calculate a route to that point THEN start your route. At which point it will send you back to where you came from THEN follow your route with those nice waypoints you selected.

Don't you just love the logic of computers!

That's a very good point - I've come a cropper in the past by not doing that. (In fact, when I'm planning routes from my home, my first waypoint is always one of two saved favourites: "Home (North)" or "Home (South)", which correspond to the junctions at eithe end of the road I live on!

I do the same.

I love Basecamp.

I love my NAV6.

I�ve endured all the problems described above in recent years, but this summer has been almost painless.

The 500+ mile National (English National) Rally was completed over 18 stops with pinpoint accuracy in a single Route.
I was well pleased.

I agree with the �Recalc� issue mentioned above. I�ve been caught in Europe a couple of times when a forced diversion & recalc ripped up the planned route and sent me to the destination - while the device logic was set wrongly, i.e. with Avoid settings less than optimal.

We learn our lessons the hard way.

I almost never ride or drive without my GPS on.

Carpe Diem!
