Delete Tracks in Basecamp?

Former Member over 11 years ago

I like to keep my data cleaned up. Is there a simple way to delete tracks on my Zumo 660 using Basecamp? If not, is there a simple way to delete stored tracks on my Zumo 660 via the unit itself?

Also wonder if there is a way to delete information stored on the Zumo in Extras? Custom POI? etc. folders on the Zumo?

Basecamp is not intuitive.....!!!!!!

Basecamp cannot delete anything on nuvis, zumos and dezls ... nothing to do with Basecamp, it's how they're designed.

You can delete custom POIs by deleting the relevant files in the POI folder.

Routes can be deleted as per page 15 of the Zumo's manual.

The active tracklog is stored in the internal memory of the zumo; it can only be deleted via the device. Archived tracklogs (and other files) can be deleted using Windows Explorer, but before you do that, backup the contents first! You won't be the first one with a non-functional device because of deleting critical files...

Maybe you should try JaVaWa Device Manager. This program is specifically designed to check and clean up devices in a safe way, and it can create a complete backup too.

I am also having trouble deleting old tracks, waypoints and addresses that are only showing up in BaseCamp. I have deleted all my GPX files on my devices, Zumo 590 and Nav VI. But when I plug it in and have BaseCamp open, it shows my internal storage close to being completely full, I only have the one map on it, and there is stuff from years ago which I want deleted. I keep reading there is no way to delete things on BaseCamp. This is insane. Hate BaseCamp, which I'm sure many people feel the same way. Haven't been able to find anything on their support pages. I wouldn't think the one map would take up my 7GB storage on my device.

This isn't a BaseCamp issue, which I've used for many years and find it excellent. It will delete data on handhelds without any problem. On the road devices handle data differently and data can only be deleted either by using the menus on the device on via Explorer.

Your post though is confusing. You say when you plug 'it in' but which device are you referring to? How does BaseCamp show your internal storage as being close to completely full? Exactly what data is showing in BaseCamp that isn't on your device?
