Mac basecamp feature request

Can the "send to GPS" button be fixed to send only the selected data/routes to the GPS please. At the moment it sends everything in my collection to the GPS in a very large file (temp.gpx) which more or less crashes my GPS. I have the latest version of basecamp installed and use and Edge 705. I want to create a simple route in basecamp to follow on a ride and transfer just that route as needed for the day. The only way i've found to accomplish this at the moment is to select the route, and then export current selected data, then copy that file to the GPX folder. It works fine that way, creating a very tiny GPX file that is easily read/loaded, but its cumbersome.

One more thing, is there a way to hide the search bar?

    I believe the send button currently sends the selected list to the device, not all of My Collection. You can use the context menu or drag and drop to send specific items to your device.

    I feel as though it is not fixed at present. I have tried deleting temp.gpx and current.gpx and yet when they are recreated from Basecamp export they include everything - I have a folder selected and press "send to GPS".

    How do I also send a different folder and have basecamp delete what is already installed?

    Just as a data point, my beta-BC only sends what I have selected - whether I drag and drop or highlight and click Send to GPS...

    Personally, I'd prefer that BaseCamp not delete anything from my GPS. I can do that when it is connected quite easily.

    I vote for this as well. How about it DevTeam?

    Current.gpx is actually output by your device, and is recreated each time the device is plugged in. Most devices that have "current.gpx" on them cannot actually have things deleted off of them by BaseCamp. If you're unsure whether your device should have that capability, you can right click on it and click "Get Info". This is also accessible via the Edit menu and cmd + I.
