Files sent but Zumo XT not completing transfer

Post by fobean »

Dear All,

I am trying to send 10 or so trips to XT via Garmin Drive one at a time. Garmin drive is opening the GPX file and sending to device. My phone tells me that XT has received files. However XT wont complete the transfer , it goes to 99 percent or 100 percent transfer but doesn't close. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks John

Welcome to the forums.

This sometimes means that there is something 'odd' in the GPX file. Possibly due to the program that was used to create the route in the first place ?

What program did you use to create the gpx file ?
Have owned Zumo 550, 660 == Now have Zumo XT2, XT, 595, 590, Headache
Use Basecamp (mainly), MyRouteApp (sometimes), Competent with Tread for XT2, Can use Explore for XT - but it offers nothing that I want !

Ah,not sure, I bought the tour from someone who organises holidays. He does a load of them.Ive managed to transfer the first days trip. I'll have another go and give him a call. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing anything daft!

It happened to me last week! we organized an on-off road itinerary, I sent the file to the zumo but it couldn't calculate it completely, in the zumo settings I had the flag on "avoid dirt roads", I removed the flag and the gpx file was calculated and loaded correctly
