Garmin RV795

[TheLooks]

I picked up one of these as the people that travel a whole bunch seen to have this or the larger version. I spent all day yesterday with AI(its really not that good) learning about file types and converting Gmaps etc. The bottom line was the 795 would not read the files, even when converted and installed into the installed memory. The 64G card I have is a brick it seems, even after getting a long lesson in Fat32 and programs to force the format as my WIn10 won't do more then 32G.....lol. I downloaded at least 5 programs and even paid for one to convert 10 times, to no avail. So, do the members here use Gmaps and print out turn by turn directions and painstakingly enter them into your GPS? Any tips from the guru's of gps travel would be welcome.

I use InRoute for planning (Apple only) that I can export the gpx files from.

Garmin has a drive app that does real time traffic to the gps it is paired with.

I transfer the gpx file through drive and it loads to the gps.

Any planner that can export a gpx file should be able to be loaded to the GPS through the drive app.

InRoute does planning taking into account weight, height, etc.
