Re: Does the GPS/TFT System Accept MyRoute-app Routes?

A lot of what others have said. I bought a used pixel 5 for cheap (my personal phone is an iPhone), no sim just the connected app, MRA and Spotify. My understanding is that the pixel phones being Google devices have the “purest” form of the Android system and have the least connectivity issues. Using the Pixel phone has been a revelation for me (I had all of the iPhone aggravations). No dropouts, almost instant reconnects (<45 seconds). I only take my phone out of the compartment to change a route.
I now build my routes in MRA Gold (long time user of BaseCamp) on my computer or iPad in TomTom format, save them as a gpx file. To download the route into my connected app, I open MR on my bike phone and export the saved route directly to the connected app.
Would I have preferred the TFT to be a giant version of my garmin, yes but the functionality of my present set-up is such that I now use it exclusively without issue, so far.
