Zumo User Forums

I'm practicing rally planning and routing with Basecamp. My routine Basecamp planning is done on the Mac version. Because of rally data spreadsheet exports I need to use BC on Windows. With rally planning, the arrival/departure timing is important. I've run simple test routes and found that the BC ...

The mimport fix changed my routine as well. When storing GPX backups on the SD card, the Zumo doesn't recognize an operating system level file name change. When checking to import the "backups" from the card, all route names were duplicated. So another step was to change all the original route names ...

I hadn't any idea of the RUT issue. But surely have experienced it on the road. Apparently I'm one of those who thought it was an irritating "feature". Thank you Peobody for the inks to the fix. Spent a couple hours yesterday with the online Hex editor on 7 routes. I've noticed for shorter trips ...

I'm going to take all this good advice and go simple. Place waypoints manually as needed. Stay within BC which is where I'm most comfortable anyway. My bike's ODO actually is about 2% off, which adds up over a long ride. Apparently the IBA is aware as they only use the ODO for a verification picture ...

Thanks!
I like your workflow better than mine. It's certainly giving you more consistent results.
I'm being too "clever" with my process and it's likely creating compounding errors. Especially since I'm always revising.

I have a feeling it might be that my workflow is faulty. I build a route in BC, convert to track, then convert back to a route. Often multiple times if I alter the original route. I do this to generate a high number of via points to pin the route, rather than individually placing those via points ...

Thank you so much for the reply. I've read (and re-read) and bookmarked your tutorial. It's my go to reference. I'm going to experiment with tracks a little more. These are IBA rides I'm routing, so setting up mileage is critical. Last weekend's ride showed 1535 on Basecamp, 1550 when the Zumo took ...

Hello. First time posting here. I'm trying to understand why my Basecamp (Mac) route mileage is altered after sending to the Zumo. The Zumo adds ~50 miles to a 1500 mile route. I use a start/stop waypoint and 85 shaping points along the route. All interstate. It's a long, but simple route. Maps are ...
