Yup. This page suggests the format is GPX, and if that's the case, you're good to go. Better still, you can export tracks of your rides from your etrex onto your desire and follow them.
I've plotted a couple of routes online using ^^ that method, and tested one this morning, just a 25k loop with hills.
the navigation in an area I don't really know (apart from one main road) was quite tough just relying on the headphone. With the map in front of me, it'd be a lot easier.
I used a few via points, and it announces them if the announcement doesn't conflict with "in 200m turn right" or whatever.
Settings: audible warning at 200m then 100m, don't project position forwards (unless you're super fast).
It's not as quick to update your position as my tracks, for some reason.
I want to replace the TTS audio directions with beeps once I get a bar mount sorted. Then I can just glance down when it beeps and see where I'm going. Don't know if I'll have to keep unlocking it to wake the screen.
I ran andnav2 and my tracks together, as I haven't figured out how to record traces properly with andnav2.
DOUBLE BONUS -- OSM includes piste maps and mtb tracks, so you can download a piste map before you go, and then check it without having to carry about a soggy leaflet and without paying extortionate roaming charges.
