what do you mean by the gpx.file not being transferred? Can you explain the steps you have taken so far to transfer a gpx to the TT550?

As usually I Export from Kurviger with selection Rider 500/550 with the format GPX.gpx(*.gpx) in order to upload it in my Tomtom 550 rider.
But since today the file created will not be imported. I can select it but nothing append.
The same with other road trip created.

I try it with an old file exported from kurviger some days ago and with this one it worked.
Hope I was enough clear in my explanation

Thanks for your help

Are you importing via a file manager while the TT is connected to the PC via cable?

Can you attach a gpx here so I can have a look at it?

I imported the file via Plan.TomTom.com in my account as always
Bellow the link of one of the road trip and attache the gpx file
Thanks

Rename your route to exclude french characters. Tomtom planner apparently does not like them and ignores the file.
Try this one:

Actually the â€œĂ©â€ is ok, the problem is the " ’ " character.

Also, the issue is not in the file name, therefore simply renaming the file does not solve the problem.

Tomtom does not like the character appearing in the metadata tag:

<name>2 vers louest Sarlat-la-Canéda - Vallée de la Dordogne</name>


which appears twice in the GPX file. If you edit the file and remove the " ’ " from the tag, the file will load.

@boldtrn does the GPX standard prohibit usage of special characters like this? If yes, it might be a good idea to remove/replace them, otherwise it is a Tomtom problem.

Problem solved.
Special characters removed.
Thanks

Yes, so the ’ is not strictly forbidden, it has to be escaped in some places, but I guess we should just escape it everywhere, we will look at this :+1:.
