Interesting observation the other day investigating my Zumo 590 plus 5. The 4.6.0 software does not create a temp.gpx in the GPX folder (as far as I can tell) Instead, when routes are transferred to the Zumo, it puts them in separate file in the Garmin/GPX folder and names them as Route.gpx, Route0....

OK - here's the answer so far. You can rename any route point in Basecamp. The names are sent to the Zumo 590 and 595, but they are often ignored. The new names are accepted in the Zumo IF: ** the route point was a Waypoint created in BC with the flag tool ** the route paint was dragged in using the...

I'm still investigating the v4.6.0 (595) software installed on my Zumo 590. At present, I think this is a 595 issue. Creating a route in Basecamp. All route points have been created in Basecamp 4.7.1 The route has a couple of Waypoints. ie Points that I have created with the Waypoint (Flag) tool. Mo...

I know you aren't. I am just clutching at straws really. The chap in the link was having a similar problem. The only other thing I can think of is that the 595 starts in MTP mode (it doesn't show drive letters). The Zumo 660 starts in Mass storage mode - has a drive letter for internal storage. I wo...

Sorry - I forgot that this unit was brand new. The cable should be working if it is new. Just found this post here - similar problem Turned out that the USB port wasn't providing enough power to the Zumo and plugging it into a powered USB port solved the issue. https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook...

There are cables that will charge the device. There are cables that will transfer data There are cables that will do both. Maybe the cable that came with the unit was for charging only ? Although the one that came with my 590 does both. Its a little short for my liking so I bought a 'charge and sync...

Is the delay to do with the Zumo recognising that it is in USB mode, or the time take to connect once it is in USB mode - that from sleep mode 18 seconds from completely off to golden computer image. I sometimes get a white image - but not this time. I don't know the white image means . I assumed th...

Converted 590 to 595: In MTP mode. I just timed these for comparison. From plugging the USB cable into the Zumo in sleep mode, 22 seconds for WIndows File Explorer to recognise it, 35 secs for Basecamp to recognise and finish initialising the Internal memory and memory card. Mass Storage mode is ver...

Thanks fir that addition Marcel. Thanks too for the detailed info that you posted for me on the GOSExpert forum. The communication problem is one that I haven't bothered with. It tells me that I cant communicate and then manages to do so ! I hadn't noticed the longer delay connecting to the USB in W...

Not on my 590 running 595 firmware V4.60.... That is exactly the problem I am investigating. I don't know whether it is the software running on a 590 that causes it, or whether the installed software is software designed for a variation of the 595 (particularly since the start up screen doesn't dis...
