[BaseCamp] Route Transfer to Zumo dropping waypoints

[Jerry White]

I have had that issue before, when the version of the mapset on the
computer was not connected to the Zumo I was transferring the data to. If
you have more then one Zumo this could bite you. Make sure that the
Basecamp maps were installed on the PC when the exact same Zumo was plugged
into the PC.

Just a general hint - that's no way to run a rally. Create the route in
Basecamp, but on the GPS just go point to point. Keep a notecard with your
sequence of bonuses, when you earn a bonus, tell the GPS to route you to
the next one. Especially on a 550, which tends to choke on complicated
routes, you're just asking for trouble running a 38 bonus rally route.
