To search for routes across borders, I have to make changes to the attributes of the waypoints that are otherwise totally unnecessary. To tidy up the numerous waypoints, I sort waypoints according to the countries they belong to. For example, it is not easy to search for routes between two waypoints if those two waypoints are under different categories. Others are concerning the ways it handles waypoints. Simply unbelievable! Now I am forced to use other programs (Apple Maps or browsers) to look for cities and this requires the net connection. It does not find a city by its name quickly. This BaseCamp seems to have one critical and several shortcomings compared to its predecessor. I copied the waypoints from the hummingbird onto a sd card but the format has to be changed somehow so it can be loaded into the new unit.

You can either use the Garmin Explore website or app to do this. Once you have imported your data, it is ready to be synced to your devices. This is a major flaw that I hope Garmin addresses to encourage the adoption of Garmin Explore. Another big issue is if you’ve spent time adjusting the icon for each waypoint, you will need to start over again once the file is imported. I would recommend breaking up your Basecamp export into smaller files are indicated above.

Waypoint icons specified in Basecamp does not carry over.

Files larger than 50MB may be rejected.

Waypoints are limited to 500 per upload.

When I did my import, I’ve noticed the following issues as of January 2022: I will use Tracks in this example but note that Routes files do not allow for additional detail, so I would avoid using this.

So in this case, we will create a new collection called “Basecamp Archive” where we will import our exported files and associate them to the collection. All the data is structured similar to Basecamp where you have your “Library” and then create collections or filters to view data sets. Older devices will still need to sync a collection via the Garmin Explore smartphone app.įrom the MAP tab, you just need to create a new “Collection” this is where we will group our Basecamp data. This means that you don’t need to sync your Explore collections, all you need is your smartphone data services to view the Explore content on the Garmin device. With the recent addition of the Garmin Tread off-road GPS device, Garmin Explore is now embedded in the device. This is built off the inReach portal, so you may not see all the same features if you are using a Montana or GPSMAP 66. Garmin Explore is a web-based tool that allows you to sync your GPS data with outdoor-based GPS devices. You won’t be able to export geocoded images, birdseye imagery, or Garmin adventures. We will be using app called Gaia GPS to transfer waypoints from a Garmin GPS to a Cell Phone.

To transfer data with Garmin ® devices again, select the ADM file type. Select Nav Info > User Data > Data Transfer > File Type. You can import and export waypoints and routes from third-party devices. If you have a large library of data, you might want to export by waypoint, routes, tracks as individual data sets.
