Re: Problem uploading a specific route to Zumo XT

Sorry for joining only now, after all the hard work has already been done. To me it looks the same as this one: https://www.zumouserforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=17656&hilit=import+route#p17656 Waypoints should be unique in a route. Edit: Let me rephrase. Waypoints added as Via points or Shaping ...

Re: Problem uploading a specific route to Zumo XT

I tested it using exactly the same route as the original (problem) route. The only change I made was to substitute one of the Hollingworth Lake waypoints with a new one I created just down the road. My new route works fine. So, in this case, it's not the duplicated start/end point that is the ...

Re: Problem uploading a specific route to Zumo XT

I did spot that the same point was used twice. Also spotted that the full waypoint definition name etc was declared in the route as well as in the waypoint section. I thought that the full waypoint was declared at the head of the gpx file (or separately), and when used in the route it was just the ...

Re: Problem uploading a specific route to Zumo XT

A few things 1. The number of points reported in the Basecamp route is weird. The count of Via Points appears to be the number of route points - via and shaping including start and finish. This software was developed afte Mapsource, and seems to have retained som of its features. Mapsource only ...

Re: Problem uploading a specific route to Zumo XT

As for the filename, it was only 7 characters. Do you mean route name? That is what is displayed in Trip Planner. Is the route a loop route that uses the same roads for any of the outgoing and return sections? If so, are any waypoints used repeatedly, once for each direction? I did mean route name ...

Re: Problem uploading a specific route to Zumo XT

Appreciate your wild guesses. I think you are probably right, the "points" is probably the number of detailed "directions". At the level of detail shown, I'd guess there are around 120 detailed directions in my route... HB Detail.jpg As far as I know, that is not something I can control, and is ...

Re: Problem uploading a specific route to Zumo XT

Once a route is imported it should create a .trip file in Internal storage\.System\Trips. Is that file being created? Okay, having enabled the system directory (as above), I can see there are 4 files in \trips... Garmin XT Trips.jpg I suppose the time stamps on these files show the failed attempts ...

Do I need to do something in Windows to see more? I already checked I have the "hidden items" checked.

Re: Problem uploading a specific route to Zumo XT

Thanks again for your suggestions. I can confirm I have rebooted the XT between the failed uploads. I have renamed the route. It made no difference. Splitting the route into two routes was successful. Having split the route, I did exactly the same export from BC/transfer to XT process and the two ...
