I like to keep a record of our holidays and longer trips - write them up with memories, photos and route maps. BAsecamp will read them and provide information as you move the mouse around, or draw speed or elevation graphs.
#EXPERT GPS HOW TO DELETE WAYPOINTS FROM GPS SOFTWARE#
I like to keep a record of long trips and I use them to plot the routes traveled on mapping software - such as Ordnance Survey maps on MemoryMap.

Personally, I like to keep them - and will download the newest ones every couple of months so that I have a copy before they get over-written. Delete the wrong ones, and you could end up having to send it back to Garmin for a reset - which will cost you. Deleting files from the Zumo has to be carried out at your own risk. I just know what I think I have found out and it works for me. I do all of the above quite frequently - but I am not an expert in the Zumos. It then takes much longer to restart - which is what is required. By cold start, I mean turn it off by holding down the power button until the screen shows a red button to turn it off. When it starts up again it rebuilds the files and folders that it needs, if they are not there. Often, after deleting system files, you have to perform a cold restart of the Zumo. I have found no there way of getting rid of these. I have found this necessary to get rid of routes that I have transferred from Basecamp, which then keep popping up as being available for import. Sometimes to clear out everything, deleting temp.gpx is also required. But there is an option to turn off the track logging. They take around 60Mb of space - which out of 16Gb isn't a great deal. You can delete these if you wish, but the system will keep creating new ones. On the 590, it will only keep the most recent 20 gpx files, so in the example above, when 43.gpx is created, the oldest file - 23.gpx - is deleted.

When this happens, the file is moved to the Archive folder and given the next consecutive number - eg 43.gpx - and a new empty CurrentTrackLog.gpx is created.

Each point has date, time, elevation, latitude, longitude, bearing, speed and one such point its recorded every few seconds of the trip.Įventually this file becomes full - something around 3.5Mb, but often less. This records thousands of points that it has plotted. The CurrentTrackLog.gpx in Internal Storage/GPX builds up a number of tracks that the ZUmo has plotted while out riding or driving. In there you will find around 20 gpx files, numbered consecutively - eg 23.gpx, 24.gpx, 25.gpx up to 42.gpx I assume the same is true for the other Zumos, but cannot be certain. On the 590 these are stored in Internal Storage/GPX/Archive. I have no experience with the 396, but some of the information from the 590 and 595 may be relevant.

I wonder if you are referring to the archived travel log files.

I assume these tracks are not taking up a huge amount of space, and there is plenty on the system, but it is just annoying to have these visible every time I use BC to download or upload new details. However, selecting "clear Travel History" does not make any difference, no matter how many times I have tried it, shutting down immediately afterwards, or simply plugging back into the PC. According to the Zumo itself, there are no destinations stored, no trips stored, no tracks stored, and yet I appear to be able to "clear travel history" if I select "Apps", "Tracks", "Active". I cannot see anything in the GPX folders in explorer having deleted what little appeared to be in them. Resurrecting this thread - Zumo 395 - following guidance from earlier posts, I have managed to delete most of the unwanted waypoints, destinations, tracks etc, but am still left with about a dozen tracks from last year visible when I select the "internal storage" folder through basecamp.
