    I create a route, and I rename some waypoints. Fuel, Cafe, etc etc.
    I download the route on iPhone as 1.1 .gpx.
    I transfer to Garmin Drive and Drive sends it to Zumo.

    When I open the route on Zumo, waypoint names have changed....sometimes to "Area"...sometimes just to the co-ordinates. They are in the correct place, just the wrong name.

    Is this a Garmin problem or My Route App problem??

    Thanks

      @Simon-q It's a XT thing.
      If you make those waypoints Viapoints (handshape) and then rename then the XT wil show the flagsign and as far as I remember also the correct name.

          Unless the XT recognises that the waypoint is on the road you get Area. Use the Here maps and be accurate. If you are using OSM the actual position of the road can be 50m out in the worst cases and often 10m

            I use HERE but it makes no difference. The waypoint is always exactly where I need it.

              Hi @Simon-q

              The issue with waypoint names is as @Marinus van Deudekom says, it is a Garmin thing
              the XT specifically renames points in a seemingly completely random way, it even can change the location by small amounts each time you rename the point !

              I don't believe it is to do with the position of the points but more to do with the Garmin/Here database for the road names not matching or somehow conflicting with your name of the point.
              The Garmin tries helpfully to "correct" what it thinks is an error but is in fact deleting/corrupting hours of your work

              The only way round it I know of is to check the points after they are loaded to the Garmin & rename the ones that have changed back to the name you original chose.
              Transfering via Basecamp or such does not help, the names are changed as they are loaded onto the device

                if you have used route algorithm HERE and your way points are really exactly on the roads, may try to use for export gpx 1.0

                Nothing is impossible ;-)
