Re: Routes (SD card or XT )

Sounds like a great easy way to go! I will definitely try that out... I have a question if you don't mind; Since I want my routes on the SD Card, do I need to have Garmins Maps loaded on it as well or does it communicate with the loaded maps on the Zumo XT? Thank you for your input along with your ...

Re: Access Basecamp Library from multple computers

I use dropbox as well but I'm always adding/deleting as I go. I'll make routes for a trip and add them to db for others to download for themselves if they wish. When the trip is over I'll delete them from db but I always keep them in Base Camp and in a separate documents file as exported gpx files.

Re: Anyone know of Corridor H around Parsons WV?

On another note, I was thinking maybe you're taking this way too seriously :) . U-turns and rerouting on the fly is part of the adventure!

Re: Identical Maps?? Garmin Zumo 595LM 95% Full!

Ok, clarification: On the device, I delete all routes and saved points I don't want to keep. Then hook to Base Camp, making sure Garmin Express is shut down completely, i.e., not running in the background. When I do this, by clicking on internal or user memory, I can see all the waypoints saved as f...

I connect to Base Camp to delete routes in both internal memory and on the SD card (user memory). I'll make a trash list folder and list, put them there if I want to save them then delete from the device.

Re: Updating maps and software

Not sure if it's same for windoze PCs It doesn't always happen but sometimes Base Camp and Garmin Express don't play well together on Win OS. I learned long ago and have been saying for a long time, one or the other not both at the same time. Even so far as to disable GE from running in the backgro...

When you go somewhere that you to return to sometime, touch the vehicle icon. It will save and you can name that spot whatever you want it to be. It becomes a Favourite/Saved Place.

Re: What are your next projects (roadtrips)

I have 2 in the works: Delmarva. I love riding there and the fresh-off-the-boat seafood is second to none. It's one of the cradles of our country and the historical sites are some of our earliest. 4 days at least. And there's a small ferry there I haven't ridden yet. Cleveland, Ohio. To visit the Ro...
