Activity Download
From MB Wiki
Download is the action of taking an Activity from MotionBased and sending it to a Garmin GPS device to follow as a Course, Route, or Track. Many GPS devices will help guide you along the activity allowing you to explore activities that others have uploaded to the TrailNetwork.
| NOTE: You must use MotionBased Agent 2.3 (http://www.motionbased.com/support/download/view.mb?tile=support.download.agent) (released on May 15, 2006) or higher to download activities to your GPS device. Your GPS device may lock up if you download an activity with an older MotionBased Agent. Learn how to check your version of the MotionBased Agent. |
|
Limitation: Multiple courses cannot be maintained on the device using the new Course Download feature. If you want to download a single Course to test it out, then downloading directly from the MB Activity is the way to go. However, if you download a course from MB and then try to download a second, the first (and all others) will be deleted from the device. To work around this, save the .crs file to your desktop, import that to Training Center, then 'Send to Device'. Remember, the more Courses you put on your device, the more memory is being taken up. Always use Courses sparingly, like for new adventures. |
|
Known Issues: Internet Explorer has problems exporting activities with special characters in the Activity name (like / or \). Try renaming the activity with just letters, spaces and numbers and export again. |
| When downloading from Internet Explorer, save to your desktop first, then double click the saved file and the MotionBased Agent will load the course. |
