    Default File problem with my Zumo 660

    Hope I'm on the right "page" for this question as I ride a '13 STL SE5.

    I have downloaded a GPS file from the web in a GPX format which the Zumo supports. I have transfered the file to the little microSD chip and put it in the Zumo. Problem is I find nothing in the users manuel that tells me where to find that file so I can ride it. I don't find it in 'favorites' or 'addresses' or anywhere else.
    I have many ride files available to me from a magazine called Roadrunner but they won't do me any good if I don't learn how to find them. Anyone else using files loaded on a chip and if so, where are they hiding?

    If you just copied it to the card it will appear under favourites. If you loaded it using POI loader from Garmin it will be under extras.

    I also have a dealer list that will recreate the dealer list under it's own heading under Where to just like the Can-am models do but with a more up to date list. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...for-Garmin-GPS

    After you have copied to the SD card, go to Settings-My Data-Import data. Once you have imported the data, it will show up under custom routes.

    Ride Safe.

    Nope . . . you can even plan trips on Map Quest and transfer them to your Garmin.
