Been using a 350 for quite a few years and never really figured out the track records. I have been away travelling for 3 weeks and every couple of days I save my tracks to another device so that I can keep a record of where I have been in Basecamp. I have tried to be meticulous about this after previously losing records of a long trip on a Nuvi as I did not realise the tracks were dropped. Presumably this is due to memory limitations.

I have tracks for every day of my trip except the last 4 days of the journey which do not show in basecamp. However even though archive/.gpx files have dates for only those days I was away, basecamp shows tracks from a previous trip.

My guess is the .gpx files messed themselfs up and the solution would be simply to delete all of them - and swallow the frustration that once again Garmin have lost something as precious as photos to me

Any advice welcome

Tracks are overwritten once space fills up so it's weird you have tracks from earlier days but not the last four of your trip. I can't see how that could happen.

Something strange just happened. I was about to wipe the device but decided to double check the manual, and came across the track back app. It seemed to show a small part of my journey so I saved it as a trip. Wonders were beheld on importing into BCamp. The exact part of my trip that had been missing (1,200 miles and 6 countries) re-appeared

I am now mr happy

But still need advice.

1. Would this have been less likely to happen if I were using an sd card?
2. What is the preferred method of reseting/stabilising the device?

Ta

1. No
2. To carry out a master reset turn off the Zumo and disconnect any power cable from the unit. Hold down your finger in the lower-right corner of the screen. Hold the "Power" button, releasing it only after the Zumo turns on. Release your finger from the lower-right corner of the screen after a "Do you really want to erase all user data?" message appears. Tap "Yes."

Many thanks
