Planning is half the fun. Then transferring the route into your Garmin and off you go.
I am sorry, but no. You cannot simply upload (or download) the route into your Zumo 220. That is, you can do this, and there will be not one single error or guiding message, but if you think that is it, you are sadly mistaken as your route is nowhere to be found.
After searching for several hours I found out that any “up-loaded” route is stored in a separate file on your Zumo’s memory card. Now, under the menu-choice “tools”, and then “my data” you can “import route from file”.
OK, so it takes a bit more work to do this, but I am not in a hurry, you think. Alas, wrong again. The route you so carefully made, saved, and downloaded to your Zumo 220, is nothing but a series of waypoints (sometimes only “start” and “finish”. Now your Zumo goes to work and calculates a nice route out of this. Yes, you guessed right, the result is nothing like the route you made. And if you are really out of luck, it is just a few straight lines from start to finish.

Saving a waypoint (poi) used to be easy. Now you have to “tap the screen” (exactly on the indicator) or go to “menu”. Then “tools”, then “where am I”. Then save location, give it a name, go to back to menu (two buttons to press), then go to “where to”, scroll down until you get to “favorites”, find your newly added POI amongst all your other POI’s (I have hundreds), tap on it, then choose “edit”, and only now you can assign a screen-icon (map symbol), a category or change its name.



Well… Tom tom, here I come.
