16) Using older Zumo's (not using Trip files)

Which models are meant?

If the MTP device name contains ‘Garmin’, but it is not a model known to support trip files (Eg: Zumo XT, Zumo XT2, or Tread 2) TripManager assumes it is this type of device.
Note: Garmin Edge is a special case, not covered here.

These devices don’t use .trip files, but sending GPX and GPI files is supported. They typically use a drive letter and are not native MTP, but TripManager is able to read/write in a MTP-like fashion. TripManager assumes this default directory structure on the device, but that can be changed using the Set Default button.

\Garmin
Contains GarminDevice.Xml that TripManager uses to get the Device Name
\GPX
Can be used to store GPX files with your routes, tracks and waypoints.
\POI
Contains GPI files with Points Of Interest.

Only Zumo 220 and 660 are tested, but it is my belief that it will work for other Zumo's (390, 395, 590, 595 etc) also. Also tested is a Dakota 20, so handheld models may work also.

Setup:
·   Connect the device.
·   In TripManager select the device, if not automatically selected.
·   The model should be selected automatically, and contain the specific device name. (Eg Zumo 660)
·   The preset Trips is disabled and renamed to Unused.
·   Select the GPX preset and verify it points to the GPX folder on the device. If not navigate to the correct folder and Click on Set Default.
·   If you want to use GPI files do the same for the POI (GPI) preset.
·   Next time the device is connected,  TM should detect it.

Send to:
·   As with the XT(2) you start with a GPX that contains one or more routes, or tracks/way points, to send your routes/way points/tracks to the Zumo.
·   If the GPX contains BaseCamp calculated routes, it can create a track automatically.
·   Using the Send To button, the option 'Trips' is not available, all other functions work.

Advised method: 
·   Send a GPX as either 'Stripped' or 'Complete'.
·   When rebooted, click yes to import. After calculation, it should be listed.
·   Deleting Routes/Triplog’s etc should be done on the device. You can however delete the GPX file from the device using TripManager.
