Deleting GPX files from 590LM hard disc (main storage area)

Former Member over 10 years ago

I have a whole bunch of way points (GPX) and the like residing in the User Data area of my 590LM.

They were useful once in guiding me along the correct roads to hotels, etc, when I was navigating via my 550 but somehow I did "the wrong thing" when I changed over from MapSource to BaseCamp and now all of these redundant GPX files have ended up exactly where I don't want them, written to my 590's Internal Storage (hard disc) and I've run out of ideas on how to get rid of them. They'll never be of use to me again, so any thoughts on how I might delete them would be much appreciated.:o

One solution I have thought of is to delete the Current.gpx file in Windows File Explorer and start over afresh but I need advice on whether this is an OK thing to do to do to the BaseCamp program, or not.

The best thing to do is remove the items from your device directly.

The zumo forum is very useful too if you've not seen it already www.zumoforums.com

That won't help you. Current.gpx is simply a one way copy of what's in the internal memory. You need to delete all files in the GPX folder then delete the waypoints using the menu on your GPS.
