Zitat von Jim Evans im Beitrag #1 Depends on the software you want to use. For example, you could probably do so with https://www.myrouteapp.com/ (I use that with a PC and Nav V, but it does have an iOS app available too) KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS |

Use an app that can make a GPX file and then transfer this file to the SD card used in your Nav - make sure you put the file in the folder created by the Nav - this will be a folder called GPX sitting in another folder called Garmin. |

I've been using MyRoutApp for the last couple of years, and really like it, but only with a mouse and using the Michelin map overlays (pro feature, which needs a Pro subscription with MRA). You can export the tracks (GPX) to the BMW Nav but you need a usb cable for it, does the iPad support that, and a mouse, these days? I still have an old iPad Air (1st gen), which is not very usefull for planning trips! |

Well, as far as I am aware, iPad can't be used directly with any Garmin device (inc.NAV IV, V, VI ...). You can create your route on iPad on any mapping apps or on-line nav tools. Than take major way points from the route and create your route manually in NAV V. This works for short rides (couple of hours - max 1 day ride) and sometimes it is quite time consuming...

Zitat von Jim Evans im Beitrag #7 IPads certainly have no SD slot (all part of Apple's quest for world domination). Yes you could get a cable as you mention, which would cost very little; an alternative might be a third-party flash drive of some sort which would connect separately to both iPad and NAV. However, you certainly don't need to cough up for MyRoute-App unless you want to - yes there are some advantages to paying for it but you'd certainly be able to check whether your plan worked using the free version.

Zitat von Gaucho im Beitrag #4As a fellow MRA fan, I'm quite curious that you choose the Michelin maps rather than the Garmin ("HERE") ones which are also provided. One 'feature' of all mapping software, I believe, is that a route planned on one device (eg Tom Tom) and exported for use on another (eg Garmin) is that the different devices can interpret routes differently, according to the manufacturer's algorithms. The paid-for version of MRA lets you switch between a whole range of different maps, inclkuding Google, Michelin, Tom Tom and Garmin, and incidentally, one really neat feature lets you compare two different maps onscreen, ie highlighting any different interpretations of routes. So if you are preparing a route for distribution to a group of fellow riders with different GPS devices, you can tweak the waypoints until there are no discrepancies between different maps.

I use the Michelin map to find the green marked scenic roads, but do the actual planning in either the Here or TomTom maps. I have both a TT Rider 410 and my Samsung phone with MRA Navigation on the bike, and when they dissagree about a route, I have to make my own decision!  |

Yes, try the Scenic app. It work son iOS and M1+ Mac's. Allows you to plan routes and export to GPX for other devices.
