Export POI as an address

When saving a POI under favorites and next export this GPX to my GPS, my GPS will not download this GPX file a a POI, but will give an error as the GPX file is not a route…; I would like to save this POI GPX file as an “address”, using in my GPS as a startin point to navigate to this POI as a destination.
Any idea how to solve this

Hello DanSan and welcome to the Forum.

To export your favourites/POIs from Kurviger App, you have to follow these steps:

1. Go to “My Favourites”

2. Open the folder that you want to export


3. Select “Export favourites” and save it as a GPX file

Now, to the second part of your problem - importing to “my GPS”. I assume this is some kind of a standalone navigation device (like TomTom or Garmin or similar) or an Android or Apple app. Without knowing what exactly are you using, it is difficult to provide any help. For importing favourites or POIs in your device/app please first check the compatible formats in the corresponding manual or help files.

If you could post an example of a GPX file that your device/app can process, maybe we could figure out what is causing a problem.

Hi, Thanks for your feedback.
I followed already the mentioned steps and exported the favorites to my GPS device, a “Connected Ride Navigator” from BMW. Unfortunately, when I “import” the routes (the favorites loaded) into my GPS device (handling done on the GPS device), my GPS is mentioning the error that it cannot import these GPX files as there is no starting- and end point. So it’s not recognized by my GPS devise as a route / track => cannot import the POI into the GPS to use it as a destination for future traveling.
Can you help me on this issue as the last mile to be successful?

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards,

DanSan

I am sorry, I do not have a BMW and have never used the Connected Ride Navigator, so I can not help you further directly.

@Hobbyfahrer - having good contacts with the BMW community - can you help @DanSan or do you know someone who can help explain how to transfer Favourites to BMW CRN?

Hello DaSan
short answer: POI import to “Connected Ride Navigator” is not possible.
