Re: [Gpsbabel-misc] Problems sending a route to garmin

[Robert L. <rob...@gp...>]

Garmins don't support nearly that many routepoints.  50 is the number for
most models.  Use our simplify filter to reduce the number of points.

Also, GDB is a pretty terrible intermediate format.  Use GPX just so you
can easily count the waypoints.

All that said, if you have routing maps loaded, you'll find it more
pleasant to load just a handful of route destinations and let the unit auto
route you...
