Internal Storage not making sense

Hi! I have a nuvi 68LM and Basecamp on my PC. When I click on Internal Storage, it contains 4 waypoints and 4 routes. When I disconnect the device, under "Saved" I see the 4 waypoints but not the routes. After much fooling around, I just want to delete the routes and start over but Basecamp won't let me delete them from Internal Storage. They don't appear on the device so I can delete them from there so how do I delete these routes? Also, if I create a new route and upload it, I can see the new route in basecamp under Internal Storage but it still doesn't show up on the device. Now I have 5 routes I can't delete.

How do I delete routes from the device? Thanks!

Edit: I deleted the routes by hard resetting the device back to factory defaults. So using basecamp I uploaded my waypoints and one route. My new question would be, where do I find the route on the nuvi interface and select it?
  • Trips are displayed in the Trip Planner app on your nuvi. You can delete them there.

    Note that BaseCamp won't allow you to delete anything on your nuvi, this is because of the way the nuvis work, and nothing to do with BaseCamp. Note also if you send data to your device using BaseCamp afterwards when the data shows on your device go into the GPX folder and delete the file BaseCamp sent there. That file is normally named temp.gpx. If you don't delete that file then even deleting data on your device won't help because your device will re-import it from temp.gpx the next time you switch it on.

    I had the same problem and confusion. I think I had to hard reset the Nuvi to clear it out. It would be a great improvement to Basecamp if it allowed better access and organization of data on the Nuvi.
  • As I posted above BaseCamp cannot access the data on the nuvi range in order to delete it, the same applies for all of the Garmin 'on the road' devices.

    There is though no need to master reset to delete unwanted data, just follow the instructions I gave above.
