zumo 595 external sd card

[soso2565]

i have a zumo 595

i can easily create a route and send it to the internal memory no problem the gps see and import it no issue

when i send the route to the external memory ( sd card ) with basecamp it send it properly but when i power the gps it not importing and new route and i can find it in the import option too

it give me the impression the gps dont see the sd card is it possible ? I see the sd card on the windows explorer

8gb sd card fat32 format

any ideal?

Are you sure you are sending the Route to the right drive from Basecamp ?

In this example 3 drives are displayed :-

1) Drive F: is the Internal storage
2) Drive K: is the Internal User Data
3) Drive M: is the microSD card User Data

If you send a Route to 1) or 3) your Route will be viewable in the Satnav, if you send the Route to 2) it won't be viewable

You are actually right
I did send the route to (in your example drive K data area)
For some reason basecamp don't show me other drive

So my basecamp directory show memory card user data
and my windows show the sd card
i do have the choice to send it to memory card or user data either one dont work when i star the zumo

If I create 3 routes called test-1, test-2 and test-3 in Basecamp and send as :-

test-1 is sent to my Nuvi 56 F: = is contained in file (Windows) F:/GPX/Current.gpx
test-2 is sent to my Garmin K: = is contained in file (Windows) K:/Garmin/GPX/Route.gpx
test-3 is sent to my Memory Card M: = is contained in file (Windows) M:/Garmin/GPX/Route.gpx

But only test-1 and test-3 can be seen on the Satnav Main Screen >> Apps >> Trip Planner

Can you examin your Memory Card folder using Windows to look for the equivalent od my M:/Garmin/GPX/Route.gpx

i do have a drive that have a folder name
Garmin/GPX/route##

see attachement

but if i create a new route and send to the sdcard
i can find it any where ( in my case APP>TRACK.>WRENCH>IMPORT

if i send to the internal memory it import it by itself when i open the gps ...again

but if i create a new route and send to the sdcard i can find it any where ( in my case APP>TRACK.>WRENCH>IMPORT

You are looking in the wrong place on your 595, a ROUTE and a TRACK are not the same thing, have you looked in :-

Satnav Main Screen >> Apps >> Trip Planner

As shown in my post #4?

 

[soso2565]

again you are right
not very smart from me i did not realize there was a wrench in the route planner ....and yes my routes was all there ready to be import
Thank you so much

It is very misleading that Garmin use 'Trip Planner' on some GPS / Satnav devices and 'Route Planner' on others, when they are the same thing
