Exporting waypoints as gpx files - problem

Let me first say that I really like your software. It is intuitive and easy to use. I have owned a Nuvi 350 for a couple of years, and I just purchased a 60CSx for hiking. I am using Basecamp to organize all of my trips.

What I am trying to do is this:
I want to export waypoints, created in Basecamp, as gpx files. Then I want to upload these gpx files as custom POIs using POI Loader, to my Nuvi 350.
Everything works fine, except that the info that I put in the "comments" field when I create the waypoint shows up twice when viewing the POI in my Nuvi. I opened the exported gpx files in a gpx editor, and it looks like the info entered into the "comments" field in Basecamp is being written to both the "description" and "comments" columns of the gpx files. Is this the problem? Is there any way to make Basecamp not do this?

My problem seems to be the same as the one in this thread:

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
