[BaseCamp] Route Transfer to Zumo dropping waypoints

Viapoints and waypoints are not the same. Not sure if you really mean 
viapoints.
There should be no problem with a route of 38 waypoints, it should not 
be too big for the zumo to handle.
When you open your ROUTE in BaseCamp, does it show all 38? The list of 
waypoints in the ROUTE is not the same as the list of waypoints in the 
LIST. For them to transfer to the zumo as route waypoints they must be 
listed as route waypoints.
I do not know the answer, but there may be something about the way you 
are making the route in BaseCamp that is causing this to happen.
Analyse your route and make sure it has all 38 waypoints. Not viapoints.

This has happened occasionally in the past but on my last rally, half of the bonus locations did not appear on the route.  Luckily I previewed the route on the Zumo and noticed there were a lot less flags than there should have been.  I was able to manually add them to the Zumo but it seems crazy that something like that would even have to be checked.

(On routes longer than 1,000 miles, I generally have to break the route into two parts so it will import successfully, but that is a question for another day)

On some of the waypoints that were U-turns, the route doesn't go all the way to the bonus for the U-turn, it shows it 200-300 feet before reaching the bonus.  From prior experience, I have found that it also does not give an audio alert for the waypoint as I happened to look at the map and see a bonus going by that I should be stopping at.
