.gdb file generated using export out of bc 3.3.0.3beta is not opening using MS 6.16.3.
Exporting .gpx of the same content: no problem.

Wanted to attach the file but upload keeps reporting problem with Garmin server.

2nd time I've read this today....

.gdb file generated using export out of bc 3.3.0.3beta is not opening using MS 6.16.3

I am not experiencing this. Just tried again, Exporting a List and Exporting a route that was highlighted. Both opened in MS 6.16.3 perfectly. I'm using a Windows 7 64 bit operating system.

Yes, I cannot reproduce it either. That's why I'd like to see an example file. Maybe there are certain conditions that need to be met for this to occur.

Update:

I could reproduce the issue.

Using the Beta to export routes with custom route settings (activity profile set to None for that route) will create invalid gdb files.

This will be fixed in the final 3.3 release.

I've mailed the file.

I'll re-try paying attention to profile settings for the routes.
There's quite a collection of routes in the file so that may be it.

Thank you! I received your email with the gdb file and it is the same issue I described above.

With the final 3.3 release of BaseCamp you will be able to export to gdb correctly.

Unfortunately there is nothing we can do with the gdb file you exported with the Beta. It's corrupt. You will have to re-export it once 3.3.1 is available.
