Help: BaseCamp export (.gpx) for Android Track Navigator

Wondering if anyone has done it before? BaseCamp waypoints are great for my Nuvi 3560 navigation use. For example, there are five waypoints in Taipei with Lat/Long like:

051005 Taipei Railway Station
051010 Taipei 101 building
051015 National Palace Museum
051020 Longshan (Lungshan) Temple
051025 Ningxia Night Market (寧夏夜市)

Naming convention is 4-digit date code + 2-digit serial.

I'd like to also export these waypoints/route/track to an Android app named "Track Navigator". What it does is displaying a Track with waypoints and when a waypoint is tapped, it automatically brings up Google Map and you can start navigation instantly.

Had tried multiple times with no success. Track Navigator loads gpx files fine from ridewithgps.com but NOT with BaseCamp exported gpx.

Any advice on how to successfully convert gpx for Track Navigator? Or if there is better alternative than Track Navigator would be great as well.

Struggled for a few days now, this post serves as last resort. Please help, thank you.

GPX is a format that is adapted in several ways.
Even MapSource and BaseCamp have a different header.
Maybe if you made a "ridewithgps.com" file (good to load file as example) and your BaseCamp GPX available here some of us could have a closer look at it.

Thanks for your quick reply. Yes the format is the culprit. Dealt with it and gave up because of too much hassle. For anyone interested, install Track Navigator on your Android phone and it will search tracks near you and allow to load it. You can then grab the file for further inspection.

Did some clear up in mind and recognized the basic need IS an app that accepts the exported BaseCamp waypoints format, correctly displays them and when one is tapped, brings up Google Map to navigate. Fortunately I found one:GPX Waypoint Reader Free or Pro version.

Whatsoever forums are great for idea inspiring and exchanging. Thanks for this great forum and hope I have helped back. Good day.

Thanks for sharing your solution.
I don't have an Android device so can't check it.

Probably it's this one, although the link goes to a Dutch version.
