Syncing waypoints

Former Member over 10 years ago

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.
