Too many points in my track.

I am trying to plan a route or track for a mostly off-road motorcycle ride in Utah. I'm trying to keep the waypoints or points to a minimum, but somewhere trying to load it in to my Zumo 590, it has put over 5200 points in a 180 mile ride. Don't know if this was when the Zumo was asking me to put it in Trip Planner, which I didn't want. I want to stay in Tracks, but it only would take 1 day in tracks and then asked to put the next in Trip Planner and convert it to a route. I am also having trouble with it showing that it saved the rides in my SD card, but when I turn on the Zumo, they are not in there. Trying to redo the ride days so these points are not in there. But with riding dirt roads, it's hard not to put too may points in. I'm stumped!!!

If you convert it to a route in BaseCamp then you will end up with far too many points. A track can have up to 10,000 points so you should be sending it as a track. If you're struggling with BaseCamp and your Zumo try this tutorial

Thanks for the quick response. I'm doing the tutorials and their class on routing. Got the Basecamp and GPS set up to work together. I'm still baffled as to why the Zumo isn't picking up stuff in the SD card, but perhaps this will help. Any ideas there? Basecamp shows the routes are on the SD card. ???

Your Zumo should read stuff from the sd card, provided it's formatted FAT32?

It is formatted. I also bought a new SD card, and that one should be already formatted, and its still not reading from it.

Is there a way to check to see if the Zumo is malfunctioning without sending it in to Garmin? Also, I don't have anything really stored on my Zumo, but it's internal storage is all but full. Is there any way to delete unwanted map sections or whatever in it that might possibly help?
