I don't see my Edge 800 Routes and Waypoints in BaseCamp

Hi,

I don't see my Routes and Waypoints that I have on my Edge 800 in BaseCamp. Is this normal?

Moreover I can't transfer them to my Edge 800 from within BaseCamp, because the application crashes.

BaseCamp currently does not read waypoints in the format that the Edge 800 creates. Frankly, we underestimated the number of people that would use BaseCamp with the Edge 800. We plan to add this functionality to a future version of BaseCamp.

As for sending routes to the Edge 800, there is a bug that has been well documented in other threads concerning this issue. The best work around is to choose File->Export and specify the /Garmin/NewFiles directory on your 800. Though not as convenient, it will work until this bug is fixed.

It's just that when such an obvious thing is missing, I was assuming it to be a bug. But thanks for the answer and clarification.
