BaseCamp Trip Planner

Hi, 

Can anybody explain step by step how to organize a multiday bikepacking trip using the Trip Planner feature? I received a gpx file with the track and uploaded in my Garmin 1050? I also connected the device to my computer (Windows) and I can see the track in the menu.

But when trying to add a new trip I am getting stuck at adding the Starting Point and Destination. I don`t know how to connect the track with the Trip and consequently to split the track into daily segments. 

Thanks a lot for your help, 

Dan

    Never used it I'm afraid as could never get it to work correctly.  I simply create routes/tracks for each day.

    I have attempted to use Trip Planner for creating multi-day motorcycle trips however I found it unsuitable.  I don't think it is suitable for you needs since it is designed to create a trip based on number of days, hours per day, starting point, and Destination.  It is not designed to connect to any existing data.  Also, Basecamp is a tool for creating and modifying routes.  You are starting with a track so I think at a minimum you would need to create a route from the track and then try to make the modifications that you want. 

    If you are new to Basecamp, this will not be easy.  Basecamp is not what I would call a difficult program to use, but it is not intuitive at all.  I needed a number of tutorials to get the hang of it.  This is where I started:  https://www.newenglandriders.org/learn-basecamp/
