I've long been an advocate of using internal storage and the Basecamp transfer and import technique.

But it does seem that this method is introducing issues - still only strong suspicions though.

Just make sure that you know how to recover from the 'No data available' message which prevents you from importing Waypoints into Favourites or Saved locations.

If you don't know what I mean, delete them all and then try to reimport them ......

Use Basecamp (mainly), MyRouteApp (sometimes), Competent with Tread for XT2, Can use Explore for XT - but it offers nothing that I want !

Just recently I deleted the temp.gpx file in order to clean out the Nav. I did not restart it after that and when tried to move new routes from Basecamp I got en error message something like "cannot load no connection found" or in this context. I had to transfer the routes to the laptop and then move from there into GPX folder in Zumo. After that the Temp file got created.

Temp file is created when you send routes from BaseCamp. Why you couldn't send routes from your PC is a mystery

Sometimes either Basecamp or the PC breaks the connection with the Zumo. I don't know the exact circumstances, but it after they have been connected together for quite a while and there has been no activity. Usually if I leave it and go and do something else - come back and I have to reconnect.

It does this silently, but you can tell because the left hand pane doesn't contain the Zumo folders.
