I did have to learn that the planner breaks up a ride into separate files for each leg between destinations. A ride with just a start and stop destination is 1 file. A ride with a Start/Stop and intermediate destination is 2 files. (Start to Intermediate) (Intermediate to Stop)

I have a Zumo 660. This describes the way it used to work. For some reason the Zumo will no longer sync with a computer. I have tried loading the communicator on two different computers with no luck. The communicator software detects the Zumo on both machines but they will not sync. Anyone have any ideas?

I still don't have a smooth process for creating maps b/c of the OP's original issues. I can import routes but it they are being changed by the GPS. It's not using the roads I picked.
