Things I’ve learned so far after having it for a week:
I'll add more as I learn more
- The SD card needs to be formatted as FAT32
- MP3’s go on the SD card in a folder you create called “MP3”
- The Zumo will only recognise 1000 tracks, put any more on the card and it won’t see them.
- Put your MP3 files inside sub-folders inside the MP3 folder, group them by artist or album, it doesn't matter as the Zumo sorts them via the MP3 tag each file has. Doing this helps the Zumo start up a lot quicker for some reason.
- You use Garmin’s POI loader to load collections of POI’s
- You need to load all your custom POI collections from a folder you create on your PC every time you want to add new ones. Otherwise the old ones are overwritten.
- The title of the .gpx file becomes the name of the collection when on the Zumo.
- These collections of custom POI’s appear in the Extras menu.
- If you send the collections using Mapsource and not POI Loader they end up filling the Favourites menu up, not a good idea.
- Waypoints you create using Mapsource and send from Mapsource end up in the Favourites menu on the Zumo.
- Waypoints in the Favourites menu show up on the map when zoomed in from 5 miles and lower, but Custom POI’s only show up at .3 miles and lower.
- All my old routes in .gdb format need re-saving as .gpx format before they can be sent to the Zumo.
- To save your current location, tap the vehicle on the screen.
- While following a route if you tap the green bar at the top you get a full list of turns, if you then tap “Show Map” it shows the whole route with total distance and total time.
