From Scenic perspective, you need to export the GPX, and then use the Garmin Drive app to get in onto the Zumo.
Two important things....
1) Scenic uses a different routing algorithm so it's possible that Garmin's / the Zumo's routing algorithm takes different roads between the waypoints.
2) GPX files do not have any knowledge of the routing mode and avoidances that you chose in Scenic. So, the Garmin / Zumo will apply some other routing mode.Cheers,

Then you can just use Scenic for navigation as well, and you completely get rid of this problem all together 😉. In the "Special Offers" section in Scenic side menu, you'll find some discounts for these units.
