Zumo XT - Internal Storage Issue

Post by DevonBiker »

Hello, This is my first post, hope you are all doing ok.

I've spent a number of hours looking online for answers but I still need some advise.

When my Zumo XT is plugged into Basecamp the "zumo XT" - "Internal Storage" shows a blue flag named "001" and I want to delete it but I can't.

I've deleted all GPX files on Zumo.
I've gone through every option to delete any rout and personal data I can find. As far as I'm concerned the satnav is empty but yet I still see this 001 flag showing. Looks like a Waypoint to me.

Why Garmin has made deleting personal data so hard is beyond me!

Thanks in advance for your comments.

001 is typically used on Garmin devices to indicate your last parking spot. I don't believe its possible to delete it but it will be updated next time you park. See here for details

Thank you for posting. I’ll take what your saying, I’ve learned something today. However what I did was sign up to Garmin Explore and I created and deleted a basic route. After playing around I plugged the Zumo back in to Basecamp and the 001 was replaced with 2x feet. So I don’t know what’s going on but it’s probably my ignorance.

That may be Explore doing that, afraid I have no knowledge of Explore.
