Transferring GPX data from iPhone to Zumo XT2?

Post by LQQK_OUT »

I'm looking to disable/turn-off the Tread app data synchronization on my iPhone. For me the application isn't ready for "prime time".
What are the "best" options/methods for transferring data from my iPhone to the Zumo XT2?

1. Is there another application (besides Tread) that will transfer the GPX data from a file on my iPhone to the Zumo XT2 wirelessly?
2. Is there an application that will transfer the GPX data from a file on my iPhone to the Zumo XT2 if a use a cable to connect the devices? Possibly something similar to the TripManager software posted in this forum?

Welcome fellow sufferer (is that how you say it in English?).

Anyway, I have been looking for such a way for almost 2 years now, unfortunately without success.

And yes, you can use a cable to transfer routes from the PC to the Garmin XT2, but no, that is not a reasonable option. Firstly, it often takes a very long time (x minutes) for the Garmin to finally appear on the PC, and secondly, it often takes an additional very long time (x more minutes) for the XT2 to process and or open the routes.

If you know of an alternative way without a cable, thank you for any advice!


Addition:
Using the SD card for data exchange is ultimately not a much better option.
