Excellent, great to hear I didn't mess it up too bad... I've also ready that file can be delete and it will self re-create. I create a small route from the device's trip planer and now connected the device to the PC and looking at it from BD, I see the starting point as a blue flag named "001", which is a gas station, the final destination shows as a checkered flag, also a gas station. The route itself shows ok, apparently... While I was creating the route, the symbols looked like gas stations...
Please post images of what you are seeing in this description...Warrior wrote: ↑Wed Aug 12, 2020 9:04 pm I create a small route from the device's trip planer and now connected the device to the PC and looking at it from BD, I see the starting point as a blue flag named "001", which is a gas station, the final destination shows as a checkered flag, also a gas station.

Disconnected device, looked at the map, starting point looks like a green flag (the type that looks like the blue flag) and destination as a checkered flag, from an 8mi zoom... Zoomed in as full close, 50ft, still shows as green flag, detail is set to "More" on device. Same on the destination flag...
Trying to wrap my head around exactly what you are doing and seeing without actually being there.Warrior wrote: ↑Wed Aug 12, 2020 9:04 pm

Attached please find a Word .doc with the step by step process I took with screenshots. If you need me to post it directly not in a word doc, please let me know...gpsrchive wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 9:38 am

I can tell you most, if not all Garmin GPSr will use a green flag to indicate the start of a route and a checkered flag to indicate the finish of a route, similar to the flag colors used at any racetrack anywhere in the world. Green means 'Go' and checkered means 'Finish'.
If you are creating a route from one fuel station to another (sounds like this is the case), the route will still display with the green and checkered flags for the start and finish of the route, which will be at the same locations as the fuel stations you chose for the start and finish of the route.
When you are working with the route, or viewing the route, or navigating the route, on the device, and the route is in focus, the green and checkered flags will show at the start and finish points, placed over any existing 'map points' (the fuel stations) because the 'Route' has focus.
I have examined the internal workings for the Zumo 595 firmware and have found more than 3000 individual images used for system art, icons and waypoints, etc.
The waypoint symbols you suggest are not available to you are in the firmware, and should be available when marking a waypoint. Have you tried to mark a waypoint and then change the waypoint symbol? What symbols are available?
I have not done this yet until we decide its needed, but in the meantime I downloaded the file just in case. But your link above is for the "Zumo 595 440.gcd", not an archive, I tried to open it with 7-Zip anyway, as some files are archived but with non-standard extensions, but it reported it was not an archive. Another observation, I do have hidden files and folders enabled, but the ".System" directory does not exist... But again, we'll revisit this if needed.gpsrchive wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 2:02 am 1. Please download the previous firmware v440 for your zumo 595 here.
2. Connect your zumo to your computer and enable viewing of hidden folders and files if not already configured.
3. Unzip the archive and copy the *.gcd file to your zumo:\.System\ directory. (this is a hidden directory)
4. You should also see a gupdate.gcd file in this directory, delete this file.
5. Now rename the *.gcd file you downloaded and copied over to gupdate.gcd.
6. Disconnect and restart the zumo.
7. The zumo should install the older firmware and reboot.
8. Test the zumo operation compared to what you were experiencing before, and report here.
