I did a part (half) of the Swedish TET.

I downloaded the GPX file from teh TET web page. That is a track file, to my computer.
Using Base Camp, I imported it into my Garmin.
I looked at the Garmin, and everything look perfect.
6 segments. The TET route was shown on the screen.
I also loaded the file to my phone.

When I started the first segment. I planned to use the Garmin.
I opened the route for segment 1. Looks OK.
Press GO...... And Garmin recalculate the whole route.
I had stored the file as route. Not as a track.
=> Recalculating => giving a much shorter route the the TET route.
=> Useless

If I had stored it as a track. It had been possible to use.
But only to show on the map.
Not to get a route with navigation information.

So I tried my OSMAND app.
It took the track file. And used all the points from that file as "waypoints".
And calculate a route. And the waypoints where so close, that is was the correct TET route.
Of course, there is limitation in OSMAND's number of points. And the phone's calculationg power. But it worked perfect.

Trip saved !!!
I was riding the TET for 4 days, using OSMAND only.


OSMAND has better functionality in this area than Garmin SW. !!!

Than, it does not have a userfriendly interface. And some other issues.
But I like it more and more. The more I use it and learn.

Already with the free version you can download 6 maps == 6 countries.
Using Wifi, when preparing. Than you have the map. No need for connection during the trip. As a "real" GPS.

I will not leave home without it, even I have my Garmin.
