So my guess is that you haven't had the Zumo long?

Yes, double click on the .gdb file and it'll open as a Mapsource document. Plug your Zumo into the computer and wait for it to be recognised..."bing, bong". Then click the "transfer to unit" button and watch it load. You then unplug and let the Zumo fire up then import the route. Done.
Sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs........ but............?

Thanks Blacktiger i will have a go at that later. I have had the Zumo ages and it is a great bit of kit, but not so good on what makes it run, Not happy with the constant need to upgrade stuff!! Why do you think i bought a steamer? Old school bike that you have a chance of fixing when i plays up. ( I hear they have fuel injection on some of these modern machines now??? LOL)
Will bring a cattering pack of bacon as i have been known to knock out a decent bacon and mushroom butty.

I get the impression that they're frightened of going outside that forum. They might catch something!! My posts are mostly ignored. Very odd when we've got something they want already organised.

I may as well do it, as I'm gonna get blamed for it anyway.

Looks like Selina has added support and some are starting to look at coming to the same site. Whether they'll lower their standards and talk to 900, 955 & 1050 owners is another story.  :roll:

I'm lost here. When is the meetup and where is it? I'm pretty much game for joining but trying to follow this thread gave me a sore head.
