<o></o>Getting them off the Zumo.
<o> </o>
I’ve been asked a few times about getting the track logs from the Zumo onto a PC.
<o> </o>
Plug the Zumo into the PC using the USB cable and wait for the picture of the Zumo attached to a PC to appear on it’s screen.
<o> </o>
Open Mapsource on your PC, click on the receive from device icon (A little GPS with an arrow point upwards from it). A pop up box appears as below. Un-tick everything apart from “Tracks” then click on receive.
<o> </o>
In the left hand side bar under the tracks tab the active tracks off your unit will appear. If you highlight one, right click on it then select “Show selected route on map” the map will zoom into show the selected track log in yellow.
<o> </o>
<o> </o>
If during a days riding you turn the GPS off then on again two separate tracks will be produced. To join these up to give you a complete track log for the day hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and highlight both tracks by left clicking on them. Then right click on the two (or more if needed) tracks and select “Join selected tracks”
<o> </o>
This will combine the selected tracks into one.
<o> </o>
<o> </o>
When you’ve finished editing the tracks click on File, Save as and give your track log a name and save it in a folder.
<o> </o>
You may find that not all your tracks appear if you’ve been on a long trip. This is because the Zumo archives the tracks when they reach a certain length.
<o> </o>
To access these you need to open “Windows Explorer” and open the “GARMIN (E) drive (your drive letter may be different depending on how your PC has allocated it)
<o> </o>
Open the Garmin folder, open the GPX folder, open the Archive folder.
<o> </o>
You should then find a list of archived .gpx files.
<o> </o>
<o> </o>
Double click on the highest numbered one and it will open in Mapsource the last tracks archived by the Zumo.
<o> </o>
Highlight the tracks you want to save, right click on them and select “Copy”
<o> </o>
<o> </o>
Close this Mapsource file and re-open the one you saved earlier. Right click in the tracks tab in the left hand side bar and select “Paste”. The “Archived” tracks will now be in your Track log file on your PC along with the “Active” ones.
<o> </o>
Edit the new tracks as before if you want but don’t forget to “Save” the changes.
<o> </o>
Hope this helps.
