I am sure it will be able to take gpx files. I am just curious to know how the interface looks and how it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted August 22 Share https://www.xoss.co/#/product/manuals The answer should be in here somewhere. Seems the Nav+ has base maps and the Nav just has breadcrumbs, but you'd have to be able to upload something for navigation and .gpx would hopefully be the default.

Skubarra Posted August 22 Share I have the cheaper Xoss for a back-up for when the Garmin acts up so can't really comment on the maps (which is the actual info you are looking for). My unit is very basic and lacks the options you have on the Garmin, but its reliable and does the job, had no issues syncing with Strava, phone & heart rate monitor. Looking at the manual @droo posted you have the option to load maps via the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @Skubarra says, the XOSS is a very cheap device BUT it punches above it's weight in terms of features. Only downside is you can't really do much with your stats and downloads other than keep it on the XOSS App on your mobile phone.
