Zumo User Forums

So you are sending your route by email You are selecting just the route, and then using the option to 'Export Selection' ? You then have to save the result in a file somewhere. Something unique. For example "Exported Routes 13 May 1734 Attempt 327.gpx" Make sure that you know where you hav...

They almost are stickies - both of them appearing at the top of a thread that has previously only been added to just once in the last three years.

But I don't see why not - they answer most of the questions posed in the other topics and posts in the thread

My fault, you are right. With the GPS position simulated all the POIs appear. What have confused me is that the official garmin POI are visible even when you open the map to add a destination. Custom POI appear only during the navigation. Anyway thanks for the info :D I am still not sure about the ...

This morning I posted 2 sequences of info about how to create CustomPOIs and How to use POIs in making a 'TourGuide'. I remember playing around with these when I got my first Zumo a 550 in 2010 I think. The instructions from Garmin - which are not very clear - have remained the same since. I'd be su...

#7 Placeholder I am just leaving this here in case I need to add anything else. I've been wanting to document this process for a long time - never wuite got round to it. It seems like a lot of work, but actually, when you get into it it is quite rapid. A single GPI file can contain a lot of points o...

#5 Tour Guides - Install POI Files and Test Save the POI file on the XT The POI file has been saved on the computer in the location that you specified. (eg J:\TG-Demo\TG-Demo.gpi ) Connect the Zumo XT using the USB cable and wait for it to show up in your File Explorer. Copy the file and paste it o...

#5 Tour Guides - Create the POI file Prepared Files We should now have a folder, close to the root, called TG-Demo. (eg J:\TG-Demo) In there we should have a single GPX file which contain all of the Waypoints that we have prepared. In my image below, the right hand folder tree shows this file as To...

#4 Tour Guides - Create the GPX file All images on this page are extracts from full size screen shots. Click on the image in order to see the detail of the original. We need to use Basecamp for this, and there is a departure from the POI instructions here. It is possible to put all of the resources...

#3 Tour Guides - Create Sound, Icon, Image The picture can be a photograph or a drawing - anything that can be saved as a JPG file. Whatever size it is, it will be reduced in size to fit into a 480x360 windows on the Zumo screen. This may mean that the image is stretched or squashed, or it may mean...

#2 Tour Guides - Create Your Folder Structure This is best if the main folder is just off the Route. I will use J:/TG-Demo/ Inside that I need 3 sub-folders - one for the files that are associated with each Waypoint/POI. If you have more Waypoints, you need more subfolders: J:\TG-Demo\TourGuide-01\...
