Garmin BaseCamp - Importing GPX Tracks - Changing Color of GPX Routes - Exporting GPX Tracks to Zumo

Showing how to import GPX tracks into Garmin BaseCamp mapping software, how to change the color of the route in BaseCamp, and how to send the GPX track to the Zumo.

Also typical troubleshooting if the Garmin BaseCamp does not see the Zumo, a common error.

Quick and easy, thank you. Basecamp not seeing my Zumo drove me nuts for a while too.

man u made my day, that desactived import option on base camp made me crazy, and its all about clicking my collection xDDD and the changing the color on the gpx route was cool too

Be sure to check the route BEFORE sending to Zumo. Some imported GPX files have only two via (or way) points - start and finish. While the route looks OK in Basecamp it may get confused while navigating if it is not a direct route. Double click the route to see info - if a a significant number of via points is shown you are probably OK. If only two points, create a new route in Bascamp by tracing the imported route. Export the traced route to Zumo.

I'm using a MacBook Air, but am UNABLE to fine "Garmin Express" so I can install it. Where can I find it or is it no longer needed? I cannot get BDR routes transferred to my ZUMO!

When I import the GPX file I got the Error " Unkown error opening imort file" ! I try to change the projection from "WGS_1984_UTM_Zone_40N" to "GCS_WGS_1984" but still the I got the error.
Could you please help if you have any idea what is going on ?

I'm using a Mac, but the basics seem to be the same. However, on my Zumo XT the track does not connect to a single route, but instead gives me every short section between waypoints, even though on Basecamp it appears as a single continuous route. (Not sure I'm using the vocabulary correctly here.) Do you have any tips for me? Thank you! And thanks for your video.
