Stop Zumo XT synching favourites?

Post by wingrider.steve »

Is there a way to stop Zumo XT synching favourites and ending up with multiple identical entries on the XT?

I don't know what your process is so let me explain what I have figured out.

Via points contained in routes transferred to internal storage get automatically added to Favourites. How absurd, and absolutely frustrating. To prevent it, transfer routes to the SD card and then import them using Trip Manager on the XT. For some reason, the process of importing from the card does not also import in Favourites.

What if you want one of those Via points as a Favourite? I actually don't know if there is a way to add one if you didn't intentionally export it individually, but I don't care. If I need to ride directly to one of the Via points in a route I will start the route and select that Via as the entry point. On one occasion I selected the end point as an entry point to get there the fastest way.
