Zumo User Forums

So I did a long trip and struggling with the gpx tracks and route i had imported. BUT one of my co riders showed me a trick which made everything work! Import your gpx file as track in explorer.garmin. This track does not give any ETAs or distances to waypoints. It will show up in your tracks list ...

What are the black spots on the basecamp maps that are all over the place? They are not part of my route of track.

I can take a screenshot maybe later.

Update:

Managed to connect with the Mac and the Zumo, uploaded my planned routes in to Basecamp on my new MB Air.

So fine tuning the data now before my trip this summer!!

Thanks all for the help

I got my XT back, it did connect (after several tries) to Garmin Explore and able to download the maps to Basecamp. However after that it would not connect again. I have installed the Android Open TMP (I think), but have not had time to experience more. For now the routes/tracks/WP were uploaded via ...

I jsut checked, these are still unchecked,...

So that should work...

Kinda given up on using basecamp for planning anyway for now

So got notification that they checked my unit and nothing was wrong with when connecting to windows pc. To which I replied that i was using a mac, but they already packed the unit and prepared it for sending, so perhaps I could get a windows pc, perhaps?? Customer service is as good as their ...

I am using the Garmin cable, no other cable I have has the connection that Garmin uses on the XT. I ordered a new macbook air, due next week, so I cam experiment a bit more with the XT. I send a note to Garmin and they are going to exchange my XT for a replacement one, should be here next week. See ...

The problem with base camp is that it needs to connect to the Zumo XT to upload the maps. And it won't connect, therefore no planning possible!!

Any body can explain how I can get Explore to make a route between two or more waypoints?

to be honest, the whole experience with the Zumo XT is sh!tty Spend 500eur on a unit and there is no way you can do decent route planning because the sh!tty software either on the unit itself or provided by Garmin doesn't work. Importing tracks from other systems is marginal at best. This whole ...

Hmmm, it comes sometimes on sometimes not...

Express is hit an miss and no luck whatsover with Garmin...

Ordered a new laptop, hopefully that will improve (mac airbook 13" M3)
