Syncing waypoints

Hi there .. working with Basecamp 4.4.3 and a Nuvi 2555LMT ... Seems to be working well, but wondering if there is a way to sync waypoints without creating duplicates. I imported waypoints from the NUVI to my MAC successfully; then edited and created some new ones on the Mac in Basecamp.

What is the simplest way to update them on the NUVI. If I highlight all the waypoints, Is the NUVI smart enough to know which ones have changed or do I need to keep track of the ones changed and delete on the Nuvi.
  • The simplest way is to import all your data into BC. Then delete everything off your nuvi, edit the data in BC then send it back to your nuvi.
  • Your situation may be quite different from mine but I keep all my information in BaseCamp and add the current trip to Nuvi 3579 LMTHD or the Dakota GPSs if we are going geocaching. It is not a memory issue but it makes things easier to fine. The big issue for me in the past was moving a route and getting new waypoint created. Now I put the trip in a list or trip planner with all waypoints used to create the route and POI fro the trip and move everything to the Nuvi.
