Using "Where I've been" information

Post by Rusty Nuts »

I went out and rode 315 miles on Sunday, and the xt has this information stored in "Where I've been".
Is there a method to convert this data into a route I could share with other riders?
Thanks.

Yes but I believe that you have to do it on basecamp

I can't remember how exactly and I'm away at the moment

I've seen it with footprints next to it as small segments. How do I turn that into one continuous route I can share?

In Basecamp, select all the tracks you want to join, then go to Edit > Advanced > Join the Selected Tracks.

Note you need to select the tracks in the order you want to join them or you'll get an awful mess

OK, I linked the sections together and sent them back to the xt which only seemed to recognise the first few hundred yards. I saved the BC file, opened it on Tyre, and the whole route showed. Saved it as gpx, sent it to the xt. Imported it with trip planner which said there were too many points, and converted it. Only the first few hundred yards showing. Import it again, tell it to split trip up, it does that. So will they follow on or will I have to keep stopping and load each section separately?

After you've linked all the tracks together in BC, select the linked track and go to File > New > Direct Route from Selected Track. That should create a route from which you should be able to transfer to your XT.
