Can't upload a defined track / route from Basecamp to Garmin Navigator VI without ending with only Start and End waypoints. All others don't show

Read through what I believe are the previous threads on this topic.  I am using Windows 10, with Basecamp V 4.7.4  I created a series of waypoints in another software program (Myroute App) and saved the file as a .kmz as I tried other formats and this seems to allow me to transfer all of the 39 waypoints into Basecamp where using .gpx only gives me the Start and End waypoints showing.  Now that I have all the selected and needed waypoints in Basecamp, I tried to transfer them to the Navigator VI which results in only a Start and End waypoints again.  I converted the file to a Route and exported the Selected Route to the GPS with the same results.  Appears neither Track or Route seems to show all the waypoints in the GPS.  I have my profile set for Motorcycle, Curving roads and deleted all avoidances except dirt roads.  Struggling with this as it is the same problem trying to upload the route from the original software program showing only Start and End points.  I can run off of the MyRoute App Navigation software which gives me all of the waypoints but my preferred method is to run off the GPS.  Looking for guidance.

  • This is a pretty common issue. The way around it is to use the imported route as a guide and create a new route in BaseCamp, adding points as necessary so it follows your imported route, send that new route to your device. 

    Two things to note. Your Garmin device cannot handle more than 30 viapoints in a route, although it will accept many more shaping points. I'm assuming too you're using the same map in BaseCamp and your device.

  • Thanks for this info, I will delete some of the waypoint I have reducing them to 30 as you indicated and will try this later tonight.

  • I cut back the waypoints to less than 30, making some shaping points and not waypoints.  I had saved the file in the .kmz format and when I opened it with BaseCamp it drew in all the correct waypoints and shaping points as previous.  Now when I exported the named file to the Nav VI and was able to open the Route with all waypoints showing.  At least for me it works now.

  • Great, I'll close this thread
