Garmin Edge 205 issues

genus

Does anyone know how to import track information from a Garmin Edge into Memory Map?

It's a bloody kerfuffle, I tell thee.

click on gps at the top and scroll down to import from gps, another pop up appears and select routs, tracks or waypoints and thats it, make sure your edge is connected obviously.

Yeah, keep getting a software error saying function not supported. Must be a thing with the Edge's they do a funky thing with track data as it's separated from route data via a Training function on the unit itself.

There must be a way around it though. I'm thinking of a way to save the newly made track as a route and then import it, but can't find the buttons. They're not exactly easy to use are they?

I've got the Garmin Edge 305 (essentially the same as the 205) and Memory Map imports fine. Have you tried looking on the memory map forum?

If you need to convert things to and from GPX format, you might find this little tool useful...
