I did, and yes, it was succsessful.

Saved Waypoints increase the boot time for the Zumo. (At least for my XT)


Interesting - wasn't aware of this.
I mean I realized that the Zumo has mor struggles to load, the more you put on it, but had no idea what exactly is the issue.

TripManager can do that, I can create POI files from GPX files. You can select Way points, Via and Shaping points. They will give a) the correct icon (not a green/white heart) and b) an alert
