Since the change of the protocol of the .fit file (03-09-2017), Basecamp (version 4.6.2) cannot see or import .fit files anymore.
You can see the files in the file explorer of Windows (or Linux) but in the Windows program Basecamp 4.6.2 these files are invisible.
In Linux i use Qmapshack and there is the same problem.
luckily upload to Strava works.
As a workaround you can export .gpx files from Strava and import them into Basecamp (or Qmapshack)

I have made contact (26-03-2017) with Garmin about the Basecamp problem. They said that they send my mail to the technical division.

I also made contact with the maker of the excellent QMapShack program and they did the trick all ready:

Ivo updated the FIT code in the repository. This will be fixed in the next
release. The impatient ones have to compile QMapShack from the repository
code.
Looks like Ivo is faster than Garmin I just updated Basecamp and it still
can't display new FIT files

So QMapShack can now handle the new Garmin fit files.:)
