Basecamp 4.7.2 does not send routes, only waypoints to Road50

What is your device, I'm unsure whether you mean Nuvi 50 or a Drive 50?  If a Nuvi 50 I'm not sure they accept routes.

My mistake, it is a Drive 50

Ok well that should work.  How are you sending the route? With it showing in the lower left hand pane in BaseCamp you should be able to right click it, select Send to and then select your device. Having done so disconnect the Drive, switch it on and you should see the route in the Trip Planner app. Note it may not appear immediately.  You should also see evidence it's being sent in BaseCamp as a line appears just underneath the device in the top left hand pane and once that completes it's been sent.

One thing I can see though, you can only have 30 via points in a route on your Drive, you appear to have many more than that. You either need to remove some or change some to shaping or do not alert points.

The waypoints are not part of one route. There are 10 different routes, averaging about 5 waypoints each. the most one route has, is 14 waypoints.

I have used the top menu "Device" to send either the whole gdb or selection to the device. No joy. Only waypoints arrive.

I have also selected the items in the bottom left pane and sent it to the device and device internal storage in separate occasions. I have selected just the routes and sent them the same way. I have selected the routes one by one and sent them the same way. No joy.

If I reboot the GPS and select internal storage on Basecamp it shows only one old existing route on the GPS as well as the new waypoints.

Then I select the list on the top left pane I want to import. I then select the routes on the bottom left pane, right click, and sent them to the GPS internal storage. If I then select the GPS internal storage on the top left pane, the routes show.

but if I reboot the GPS, the routes are gone again, as in the first picture.

Thanks for trying to help, by the way.

If the routes are showing when connected they've been sent. You can confirm that by looking in the GPX folder using Explorer. There should be a file there named temp.gpx with the appropriate date/time stamp.  Disconnect your device. Reboot it. Don't expect the routes to be there immediately but open Trip Planner, you will either see the routes there or a spinning wheel indicating they are still being imported.

This is the folder on the GPS.

The Temp file is there, time stamp 05:52pm. Also a Current one which has a time stamp of 07:17pm.

If I unplug  and restart it, only the old original route is there. No spinning wheel, nothing.

And when I look at it with Basecamp, the routes are gone again.

A problem with the GPS, maybe?

Are you definitely sending a route and not a track?

Also if a route is it the same name as one previously loaded?  I'm surprised the time stamps are so far apart, provided you've disconnected then rebooted the time stamps should be within a few minutes of each other.

Yes, I am sending routes.

I managed to solve the problem, however. Actually, I don't know what the problem was, but I deleted everything in the GPX folder, rebooted the GPS and connected it to Basecamp. Then I sent everything again, rebooted the GPS and when I went to trip planner, the spinning wheel was there and moments later, the routes appeared. Maybe, there was some data corruption in the folder. Thanks for the hint regarding the GPX directory.

So, there you have it.

Thanks for your time and perseverance. :-)
