In the Zumo, you can add anything that you have (tracks, routes, waypoints) into any collection that is already created. Waypoints, tracks and routes can belong to more than one collection. Give the collection a name and add anything from the list that appears below into that collection. In the left hand pane, there is a heading 'Collections'. Click on Map from the main page links at the top. Just revisitng this - I have been playing. It seems that in Explore there is no way to sub divide and only show one route at a time. So if I create a collection called 'Road Routes' then in Basecamp I can have sub-folders for England, Scotland, Wales etc and in each subfolder the routes go in their own file.

I know you can sort collections but I cant find a 'new file' button. Have you found any way to organise stored routes in Explore. Don't do a few at a time during separate USB connections. If this is news to you - then the easiest way to avoid problems is to always send tot he Zumo XT everything that you want to be stored on the Zumo. However, since the XT makes any edits to an imported route without the option to save or abort, it is easy to mess up an imported route - and then there may be no option to delete it and reimport it. It does not delete any of those routes that were imported after they had been transferred. *** The transfer of routes from Basecamp to the XT overwrites any routes that were transferred during a different USB connection. I haven't got into how stuff in Explore may be organised. Given that now, when you use Basecamp to transfer new routes to the Zumo XT, it actually deletes the previously transferred routes from the Zumos memory ***, it is as if Garmin are intending the Zumo to be used to store the routes just for a particular trip. Basically, this means that anything you put on your Zumo gets sent to Explore and Vice versa. One of the later firware versions of XT sends stuff created on the XT (or sent to the XT by Basecamp) to the explore site. It's for stuff that you have sent to 'Mapshare' - which I think allows others to see some of your routes / collections.īut no - I don't think that Explore is anything like as sophisticated as Basecamp in its organiasation of routes and such like.

In my video, I incorrectly stated that the unnamed collection was for stuff that was uncategorised. There is an option to publish stuff on the Explore site for others to see. I haven't tried this, I can only assume that they are correct. Someone posted that this doesn't affect what is synchronised with the Zumo. You can create collections, and anything listed in the left hand pane has a little 'eye' symbol that allows you to turn things on and off, so that they are not visible.
