Route for Import

Post by m185945 »

My Zumo XT is possessed with a route that is scared to be deleted. Seriously, I have a route that is about a 3 years old and it is stuck on the Import screen. Every year I clear all Travel History, routes, and tracks from the Zumo. I am always successful except for this one stubborn route. I've even re-imported it then deleted it from Trip Planner, but it still remains on the Import screen. It is the only route on the Import screen. Does any one know how to delete this route from the Import screen?

I thank you in advance.
Cheers,
Keith

If it is on your SD card you will need to delete it with your computer, either using the USB cord or by putting the card in your computer.

Use a file explorer to navigate to the GPX directory on the SD card, either by connecting the XT to a PC or the card in a card reader. The file path to the GPX directory is: zumo XT\Memory Card\Garmin\GPX
There is likely a .gpx file here (it could be in a subdirectory of \GPX). Route files stored here are always available for import.

Thank you very much for the information. Unfortunately, my Memory Card does not include any gpx files. See attached.

Look for one in Internal Storage\GPX. The ones that can normally be found there are listed below. If you have another one, that is it.

Temp.gpx

Come to think of it, the Temp.gpx file holds the content of the route or routes last transferred from Basecamp. It gets overwritten with each transfer session but AFAIK, any routes that are in it remain available for import even after they have been imported.
