BaseCamp supports kml files, you can import them using File > Import.

No idea of your Garmin device but most of them only accept kmz files (= embedded geo referenced jpg)

BaseCamp can import kml/kmz files with points, polygons and/or polylines without problems and send them to a device (in gpx format).
