Syncing the data in the cloud from the Garmin Explore app is the recommended method of transferring the files to the zūmo XT. If it is not possible to access an internet connection to sync the data from the Garmin Explore app on your phone, you can share the gpx file first to the Garmin Drive app and then send it directly to the zūmo XT as long as you are connected to the Garmin Drive app via Bluetooth.

Touch Saved.
Select an activity or collection you want to sync, or scroll down to All Items and select a waypoint, course, route, or track to sync.

Select the Garmin Drive app.

A notification will appear on the zūmo XT verifying the file was sent successfully. Touch OK to dismiss the notification.
The Garmin Explore website and Garmin Explore app will wirelessly sync data with each other and the zūmo XT. Data from the Garmin Explore account cannot be created or deleted from the zūmo XT itself. Information that is added or deleted from the Garmin Explore account from the website or app will then be added or removed from the zūmo XT the next time it syncs to the Garmin Drive app. If your smartphone does not have an active internet connection, it will not be able to sync.
