You can import it straight from the 205 into memory map

Go to GPS>GPS setup and fill that in

Then go import from GPS, choose tracks

I have the opposite problem, when I click to upload a route the 205 beeps instantly and says "transfer complete" but no route is uploaded ๐Ÿ™

Are you uploading tracks not routes?

They all seem to be stored as tracks on mine, if you upload routes it pretends to upload something but there's nothing there.

Have you run out of memory on the Edge?

not as far as I know, I delete each track as soon as I've uploaded it, and have about 10 stored waypoints

Still can't get tracks OFF the edge 205. Memory map states that "software version 3.20" is not supported ๐Ÿ™

tracklogs and sportracks both support the 205 and will retrieve recorded tracks from the unit.

The tracks only become available after they've been "ended". This happens when either you start recording a new one *or* you hold the reset button down for 3 seconds (the unit counts down). Took me a while to work out why the most recent track wasn't being downloaded from the unit. I now press/hold the reset button before downloading.

No luck just tried them both it picked up the 1 sec lap I just did though. Wonder if there's a problem as seems to think I did 86 hours of riding on 26th.

Wierd. After a ride I stop the timer and then press/hold reset until it counts down. The most recent track is then available for transfer.

that's news to me! I just plug the thing into my pooter when I get home and it finds the new track. Though I suppose I'll have turned the thing off which may have the same effect ?

The latest funny is that when I upload the route into Memory Map, it shows up as several sub-tracks instead of one continuous one, so I have to go through clicking "join track" to connect the parts...
