Thread: Kenwood DNX693S import saved places from Garmin Nuvi

I have used a Garmin Nuvi for several years and have many saved places. I can use Garmin Express to backup my device and saved places. Does anyone know of a way to import those saved places into my Kenwood DNX693S Garmin? The Garmin Express creates a current.gpx file and most everything I have read seems to indicate that this is the file that needs to be read or imported for the saved places. But I have tried to connect my computer to the USB connection on the Kenwood but the Garmin Express does not see the Kenwood. I have also tried to copy the current.gpx onto a Micro SD card and insert it in the Kenwood but I don't find any way to read the file.

This seems like such a simple request. Now that I have the Carplay option, I may be using my iPhone for navigation sometimes but I still like the simplicity of using the Garmin and it is not dependent on good Internet connectivity. So I will still probably use the Garmin in many situations and would like to have access to the saved places.

Thanks,

Rod

Try this: Rename the current.gpx file to temp.gpx before placing it in sd:\Garmin\GPX folder. Might work.

Thanks for the idea. I tried it but it did not work. I tried powering on the car with the file in the front micro sd card slot and the USB cable without success.
