B&G Zeus - Navionics sync???

I have a B&G Zeus 3 and just got a Navionics card. I can‘t get routes and waypoints on my Navionics iPhone app to sync. Is there some trick to this?
I was able to connect the phone to the plotter. The Navionics app shows it is connected. I activated the card. I did multiple syncs. It appears to have updated the charts. I checked the box for Transfer Routes & Markers. But none of the routes and markers are transferred.

I have the same plotter and had the exact same experience you did. I found that the routes/waypoints were synced to the the Navionics chip physically in the B&G. On the B&G if you dig into the files/storage, select the Navionics card and expand it, you should see folders for Routes/Waypoints that matches what you have on your phone app. If you select them you can manually "import" into the B&G. Not exactly user friendly but it worked for me.

Maybe someone else has figured out a better way...

Ok so it’s just like importing a gpx file manually. I can do that. It certainly isn’t elegant but whatever. Thanks for responding.

Hey thanks guys, sometimes things work sometimes they dont.
Getting into the navionics archives shows them all.

The zeus 3 s can hold up to 500 routes so im not sure if this applies to navionics or b & g plotters....
