I'm new here and have been using Garmin products since 1992 and have finally made the jump from MapSource to BaseCamp but I've come across a problem which I'm sure can be easily overcome.
How can I list all my waypoints by Category (preferably by having each Category as its own subfolder or by sorting the whole list by the Category field)? I'd also like to see a list of all my Categories and be able to create new ones, delete old ones and rename existing ones?
I've read the below on another Thread but I cant seem to get this to work, after I have transferred my data from my device to BaseCamp I just get one list appear under My Collection which contains all 600+ of my waypoints regardless of the category which is very annoying? I think if I could do the below it would solve my problem, any suggestions?
Thanks.
Richard.

When transferring waypoints to devices that support categories (lots of Nuvis, and many others), the devices will recognize which lists each waypoint was in and assign the list name as category. So if you have a waypoint in 2 lists 'Food' and 'Vacation 2012' in BaseCamp, it will show up in the categories 'Food' and 'Vacation 2012' on your device.
Similarly, if you have a waypoint on the device that has the category 'Hotels', and transfer that waypoint to BaseCamp, the waypoint will be in the 'Hotels' list in BaseCamp. If the list doesn't exist, BaseCamp will create it for you.
To help you see which lists a waypoint (or route, track etc.) is in, we added a tab to the properties dialog that displays which lists (if any) an item is in.
