This is something that has been annoying me for ages. I could follow tracks but not routes with > 50 waypoints.

Issue now Solved

To save you following the link:

1. on your etrex click on ‘Routing’ & set the Activity to ‘Prompted’
2. Create a track (not a route) using your chosen tool. I often use gpsies.com setting the number of points to < 250.
3. open the track in Garmin’s ‘Basecamp’ s/w
4. right click in the track & select ‘Create route from track’
5. you can view the new route & note the number of waypoints is < 250. The activity in my case is set to ‘Mountain Biking’. this is fine.
6. using Basecamp copy the route to the Garmin etrex.
7. turn on the etrex, & once in the chosen sport, MTB in my case, select ‘Routes’, then select the chosen new route, select ‘Go’, then instead of the annoying message, ‘Max 50 points…’ you get a menu & select ‘Direct Routing’.

And off you go.
