Hello everyone, I just bought a tzt10x and I'm totally lost. I tried to transfer waypoints via GPX using the a micro SD card and the unit won't detect it even when I specify GPX format. I created a TimeZero account but not sure if I can use that to transfer points or not. Do I have to purchase Navigator or something? Anyway, any assistance to get my waypoints onto my TZT will be appreciated. Thanks

Points have to be moved by USB memory stick via the USB port. Put the GPX file on a 32GB or less memory stick and put it into the machine and try again. Micro SD slot is for your chart card that should stay in the machine.

If you created a TZ Cloud account and have TZ iBoat on your phone or an iPad and your 10X has access to an internet connection, you can take advantage of the synchronization to transfer the waypoints quickly and easily and create a permanent system to always save a backup copy of what's on your TZT 10X.
The trick is importing the waypoints to TZ iBoat, which is not totally obvious. The easiest way is to create the .gpx file with the waypoints you want to transfer, then send a text message with the file attached to yourself on your phone. If you have Tz iBoat on the phone, when you click on the .gpx file attachment to the message, it should be imported open in TZ iBoat. If it doesn't do that and tries to open in another app, just save the .gpx file to "Files". Then click on "Share" and choose iBoat as the default to open that type file.
Once you have the waypoints in TZ iBoat, all you have to do is log your 10X into your TZ Cloud account and it will automatically download and synch the waypoints.
Now in fact you can do it directly from a .gpx file on a USB stick as you tried to do with the SD card as Johhny notes You might try that first but setting up the cloud synch is a good idea either way.

Thanks guys! Used a usb stick and all good. I’ll work on getting the app set up on my iPhone.
Another question. I’m using a split system with a Garmin MFD which has a heading sensor on the nema2000 network. The tzt shows all the other hardware on the network page but do I need to do anything with the Furuno for it to receive heading data or is it automatic? The sensor is already calibrated by the other mfd.
Thanks!

Thanks Kraken, it's shows as the preferred heading source. It must have been automatic because I didn't do anything lol.
Ok, hopefully this is my last question for a while. I'm trying to purchase a map using the QR code method since I have no wifi near the boat. I followed the steps from the (TZ Maps Initial Purchase & Update Instructions) pdf. and I only get the internet connection error and no QR code appears after I select Buy on the chart that I want in the TZ map store. Any clues? Worst case I will have to re-locate my router temporarily. Thanks!
