Finding waypoints uploaded from Basecamp to a Drivesmart 60.

Strange, you should see them when you do a Where to, Favourites. How many did you upload? How did you do it? If they uploaded correctly there should be a file named temp.gpx in the GPX folder on your device with the date/time corresponding to the time you transferred them.

Hi; thank you very much for your quick reply. The files ARE there on the device, in internal memory; I can see several .gpx files when I check via the PC. However, they don't appear in favourites as I expected they would have done.

Several .gpx files? Is there one named temp.gpx? If not the data from BaseCamp didn't transfer. If temp.gpx is there does the time match up? Also confirm you didn't send anything else after sending the favourites that aren't showing. If you did then the temp.gpx file with the favourites will have been overwritten by that newer temp.gpx file.

If you're unsure what you've done send the favourites again. Ensure there is then a temp.gpx file that matches the time you sent the favourites. Now remove your DS from your PC and switch it on. Your favourites should be there. Note depending on the number of favourites it may take a minute or so for them to show.

Thank you.

There is a folder in internal storage called Garmin DriveSmart 60\Internal Storage\GPX which has temp.gpx, current.gpx and garminexpressimport.gpx in it. When I tried to reload waypoints from Basecamp it threw a (long) error message:

Sorry but no idea what that error message refers to. I suggest you delete all the .gpx files in the GPX folder, then try sending the favourites again. You haven't yet confirmed how many favourites you're sending, most devices can only load up to a 1000, I assume you're not sending more than that? Also ensure you are only sending waypoints. While you can send waypoints with other data such as routes that could throw up additional issues so better to get just the waypoints working for now.

Having sent the waypoints check before you disconnect your DS that there is now a file named temp.gpx with the correct timestamp?

Thank you; that worked. I note you appear to run this service almost single handed, and I must compliment you on your knowledge and speed of response. Have a great break over Christmas.

Glad it worked and thanks for your kind comments. You have a good Christmas too.
