1040 keeps adding routes to library.

Hi Binstedman are they routes that originate from someone else's account? Then you should cancel the connection to the Garmin Connect account or adjust it accordingly 

Example:

They are al routes that eminate from my account but every time I switch the Garmin on it uploads the same routes again, as in I now have the same routes six times.

I cannot see any settings that are any different from my 1030 which works fine.

Have you tried to unlink and re-link the account

You’re right, there are basically no settings on the device to control this.

I experienced this same thing with routes that I had added to my Komoot account. I deleted Komoot from the Edge and then was able to finally break this cycle of having the same route three or four times. I could not find a way to bulk delete. It would have been nice because there were 101 routes, times three. So it was a bit of time spent mousing around and clicking.

That's it, Komoot is the problem, deleted it from my 1040 and the problem has not recurred, but I have also now deleted all the routes now on Garmin Connect. I don't know why these mapping programmes don't have a bulk delete option, it must be an easy add. Thanks

Thanks! I had the same problem with routes reappearing and duplicate routes.

I have not tried it recently, but bulk deleting routes should be possible by connecting the Garmin to a computer via USB and deleting the files in the courses folder.
