Is that a gpx route or just a location that you have sent to the zumo from the phone?

You can't send gpx to 590/595 via smartlink

This is how I used to do it https://zumouserforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=610

I now have the XT and its much easier :D

if you want share a gpx from your phone to Zumo, for now, you must use a OTG cable usb. With SMARTPHONE LINK old version is possible share a gpx with Zumo (for 595 firmware 4.5 or 4.6) but with update, for now, is possible only by OTG cable or micro sd card reader for phone (cable is more simple, just connect)
