Cleaning up Zumo from Basecamp

Former Member over 11 years ago

Hi,

when I connect my Zumo 350 to Basecamp I can access all the routes and tracks etc that are stored on the device.
I can re-name and delete as I wish.

However when I disconnect and re-connect all the changes are gone.

It looks like you need to manually transfer the changes to the device but I can not see who to do this?
the Transfer function in Basecamp does not appear to be doing anything.

Regards,
David

You can't edit/delete routes, tracks etc on the Zumo, or indeed any of the automotive GPS through Basecamp, you must do it on the device itself.

If you have a lot of editing to do, copy everything into Basecamp. Disconnect your Zumo and delete everything off it. Make the changes in Basecamp, then reconnect your Zumo and send the edited data to your Zumo.

If you have a zumo 220, 550 665 or 590 series then you can also use a sd card for transfer. These zumos give you the possibility to import data from sd and basecamp can be used to manage all data on sd card.

zumo 350 series does not have possibility to import manually (item for item, only all in once).

I cannot express, in polite company, how much this frustrates me. A software that can load a route TOO the device, should be able to delete it FROM the device.

Nothing to do with Basecamp. It's the way the nuvis, zumos etc work. The handheld devices allow editing.

Then it's a programming weakness, and it's still lame.
