BMW Trips ....

[SLParry]

I have a few BMW motorcycles and a couple of BMW GPS units, they're rebadged Garmin units so use Garmin Basecamp to create road trips on my PC.

I wanted to do the same with my i3 but apparently the website BMW previously had for this no longer exists (UK)

I see there's an import facility in the i3's GPS but am unable to work out what format it wants.

I've created a GPX from basecamp, and it doesn't accept that.

Looking at the GPX it's just an XML file and I heard it may want XML so tried renaming the GPX, still no file recognised on the USB stick.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Hello SLParry!

I've not tried to import trips / itineraries into an i3 but using a mobile to push a desired route to your i3 might be possible using one of BMW's apps:

Yes I've done that, it sends destinations not trips

My plan now is to do trips on my motorcycle nav and use it in the car
