Re: Nav V internal memory full, load new maps

Which map are you trying to update? Is it one that was originally installed on your device and not one you've bought separately? If it's not the original map then its not updateable.

Re: Nav V internal memory full, load new maps

No need to mess about like that, Express will automatically use the card if it needs to when updating maps. The only issue may be that when you say the internal memory is 'full' as Express may baulk if there isn't a small amount of free space on your device, how much free space is there? A few hundr...

Yes, MapSource exported its database as a .gdb file mainly to allow users to maintain difference databases, with BaseCamp that's all done from within BaseCamp, which can also read .gdb files if needed.

Re: How to transfer waypoints to SD card on XT

Lots of interesting discussions here but to answer the OP. BaseCamp is designed to send data either to the GPX folder on your device if you send data to it, or if you send data to the card it will create the correct folder, which is Garmin/GPX.

Re: Import POI from Zumo 550

@Dunny

They are available in BaseCamp if as I posted above you either have your zumo connected or if you've loaded POI files to a removable drive as BaseCamp can read them from both. POIs that are part of the map database are also available in BaseCamp

Re: Import POI from Zumo 550

or you can connect your 550 to computer, and use file explorer to look at the 550 files and copy/paste the Camp POI files to a folder on your computer, and from computer then copy/paste those POI files into a new List folder in Basecamp, those POI files probably have a .gpx file extension POI files...
