Can I put many disjointed tracks/routes on etrex30 to view all together?

Hi, I got all my area's footpaths from the local authority website and loaded them into basecamp as tracks... I want them to appear on my etrex30 as either tracks that I've walked or routes, just so that I can see them on my map when I look where I am. They're all disjointed and all over the place so I suppose as a ROUTE I couldn't have them all show up together without joining the tracks together as one continuous route - but can I transfer the tracks to my gps so they show up as places I've walked already and where do I put them exactly? I did put them in a folder (which I don't recall) and nothing, will I have to save them individually rather than in one big file (as I did)? Thanks.
You appear to have some confusion about the transfer process. Put all the desired tracks in a BaseCamp list, right click it, choose "Send To", then highlight the GPS. Basecamp will put them in the correct folder on the device. Then as SUSSAMB indicates, you will have to select each one in Track Manager and tell it to "Show on Map".
We have been asking for years for a batch "Show on Map" command without success. However, you can simply delete all of them from the unit instead of using the "Hide on Map" button for each individual track. Then reload them or others from BC. If you have a lot of tracks this is faster than going thru the Track Manager.
Oh right thanks, I did transfer them with basecamp I now remember which is why I couldn't remember which folder it went in but didn't do the Track Manager thing, I'll have a look at that, thanks again.
