Losing categories when transferring from Basecamp to Nuvi 2445LM all of a sudden!

Former Member over 11 years ago

I have set up a group of "Lists" in Basecamp. Each list should equate to a category (eg: Hotels, Shops, Bars, etc). When I want to sync to my Nuvi, I typically clear all favourites/waypoints from the device. I connect it to the PC and then "grab" each list in Basecamp and drag it to the device. This always resulted in the lists being transferred to categories on the Nuvi.

But since a recent update to Basecamp, this no longer happens. When I check the device after dragging the lists onto it all of the favourites show "no category". Has something been changed? I have a lot of waypoints and this category feature was very important to me for organizing them. Would be very disappointed if the feature had been removed.

Basecamp 4.3.4.
Nuvi 2445 software version 8.20 with firmware 4.14.10

BTW, I did try to search for an answer, but no matter what I specified, the search here just returned errors.

Many thanks.

Yes, lists are no longer sent as Categories. Now you need to set them in Waypoint properties under the Categories tab.

If you have them in lists then changing them should be easy, just select all the waypoints in a list, right click and select open ... now changes in the categories tab will change the categories in them all.
