Default Need zumo help please....

Hey everyone,

I have a zumo 550 that I am trying to upload some routes to and everything appears to be uploading fine but when I turn the unit on to make sure they are on there, the unit says there isn't anything there. Am I missing a step? Please help if you can I have a group ride tomorrow and really need this route because I'm likely to be leading part of it. Thanks.

After you downloaded the route did the Zumo tell you new data found? Or would you like to import new data?

Then you aren't uploading the information properly. Are you sure you are pointing it to the correct file?

You have to use map source to upload a route either to the SD card or directly to the unit. Best place to go to get your answers is zumoforums.com . An excellent resource for the Zumo owners. You can also get the HD POI files here.

yeah it is saying that the info is loading up successful but when I turn the unit on to import it doesn't look like it is there. I've tried different sd cards so that isn't the problem. I sure need to get this to work. I'll try to call garmin in a minute.

Hi,

If you have loaded your route properly,
andyou have
selected "Where to?"
and that didn't work
try
select "Where to?"
then select "Recently found"
some times a route will end up there.

if these don't help,
I agree with eariler post about www.zumoforums.com a great site

or, another good place to check is;
https://my.garmin.com/mygarmin/custo...rminHome.faces

good luck
chappy

well I was able to get it fixed. I called garmin and apparently for some reason the computer had conflicts with the drive letter it was assigned. Garmin told me to re-assign the letter and it worked fine. I have spent most of the day trying to get it to work. I restored the windows to back to last week, did master re-sets on the zumo, reloaded software etc. Sure am glad they could help me. Thanks again fellas. I appreciate the help! I was worried to death about taking all those people tomorrow on a ride and having to fight with a map while riding.
