Importing and listing categories from my Nuvi

OK, I think I'm getting senile ;)

On 17 Feb I imported data from my Nuvi 1490 into Basecamp. It retained all the categories I have set for my favourites, so Basecamp has a folder named Nuvi and lists within that folder that are named by category exactly like my favourites in my nuvi are organised.

Today I've tried to do exactly the same, but all I'm getting is a list that contains ALL my favourites, not broken down by category.

I've tried using Basecamp's 'Import' and 'Send to' functions working directly on the nuvi folder. I've saved current.gpx to my hard drive and tried importing that. All I get is a list.

I know it can be done, it's just I can't remember how I did it previously :confused:

If anyone can help I'd appreciate it :)

@SUSSAMB,

My guess is that the way you got it to work the first time was to import a GPX file (probably current.gpx) from your device. That would be supported by the fact that your "Nuvi 17 Feb" folder is showing up under your My Collection rather than the All Data for the device.

Or perhaps you did the drag/drop thing from All Data into the Nuvi 17 Feb folder.

I can relate. If I don't do something like that about half a dozen times the first time it works I promptly forget how I did it and have to figure it out all over again the next time I want to do it. :confused: :D

You're probably right :D

Now I just need to remember it for the next time ;)
