I've tried directly copying the GPX file to different locations in the Zumo and it makes it into the device but it doesn't appear in "trip planner" nor does it automatically offer to load it when I power up the Zumo. I've also tried importing the GPX file into Garmin Basecamp where it appears successfully but I can't see how to get Basecamp to recognise the Zumo - it doesn't appear in the device list in Basecamp. Can anyone help?

I’ve made some progress - eventually the Zumo appeared as a device in Basecamp and I was able to transfer the file. No idea why it didn’t show up the first five times I tried it - I didn’t change the USB cable or the USB port. Just sixth time lucky I guess! Then I discovered that the route I had prepared in Strava appeared as a track, not a route in Basecamp. Next discovery was that the files I had transferred directly into the Zumo using direct file transfer had also made it successfully but were showing up as tracks not routes. I used the “convert track to route” function and finally managed to get the route working on the Zumo. None of this is very intuitive and it’s not an operation I do very often so I will probably struggle again next time! Thanks again for your help.
