Route Doesn't Export

[cziel]

When I try exporting a route to a gpx file, all that shows up on my Garmin is
the first and last stops, without my customized route in between. Am I
missing a step?

That is correct.
GPX files do not include the route, only the stops.
Try adding waypoints along the route as a hint for the GPS.

I just started using both Streets & my garmin gps. When i make a route with
streets and try to save it I only get two options when I choose save as, save
as .est or .stt. How do I save it as a gpx file for garmin?

There is an export option rather than a save.
I;m not sure exactly where it is though.

If you insert "stops" in your Streets trip, as happens if you force the trip
onto a specific road it doesn't automatically want to go onto, the .gpx you
send to your Garmin (I am using a Zumo) is not useable as a Garmin Route. The
"stops" are not incorporated into the Route built by the Garmin Route engine.
They are listed as stand-along entities.

So far the only Streets trip I can get to load faithful to my Streets trip
are ones where I have accepted the pathing Streets picked on its own
completely (i.e., have inserted no "stops" to override the selected roads).

This is unfortunate because it prevents me from using Streets to plan rides
as a ride captain for my MC, unless I am willing to break the trip up into a
number of short distant pieces in order to go on the roads I want. Which
makes me juggle many Garmin Routes during a ride.

Microsoft and Garmin need to work this out, and provide us with free updates.

Check my other reply. The last map I created was from Central CA to OK,
north to KS and west back to CA, using highways other than the super slabs.
