I am trying to export a 723 point 54.3 mile in length track file from Base Camp to my Garmin 76CsX. I know that the GPS unit is limited to 500 track points before it truncates the file. I have been told that you can get around this issue if you rename the file "Active Log". I have changed the name of the file to "Active Log", "activelog", and "Active Lognnn". In each case, when I sent the file to the GPS device, I received a message that the file had truncated. I viewed the file on the GPS device and it had in fact truncated the file to 33.7 miles.
How can I load this file into my GPS device in one piece? I know that I can cut the file into several pieces, all less than 500 points, but I have never done this before and I would like to keep the file intact.
Map Source users have the "filter" feature in Preferences that allows them to fit oversized track files into the 500 point limit for tracks stored on some Garmin devices. When will this "filter" feature be incorporated into Base Camp/Road Trip? Better yet, when will Garmin increase the size limit for storing track files in their devices?
