Can't get manual uploads to work

I have a Vista C and have used Garmin Base Map to turn a track into a GPX however Garmin Connect says there are problems with the upload when I try to submit it. Anyone know how to fix this annoyance? My GPS is full so I really want to get these off and into Connect. I attached a GPX for an example. Thanks for the help!

    Same problem for me. I am using a Zumo 550 and I exported my tracks to gpx files from within Basecamp for Mac. When performing the manual upload I get "Some activities could not be created". Small file, big file ... nothing helps :(

    Well hopefully someone speaks up. Right now I can't make new tracks but I don't want to delete any either. Sucks.......

    I have noticed when I make a manual activity entry the time saved is incorrect. If I enter a time of 8:00 AM the time saved with the activity is 5 hours earlier. At first I thought it was a time zone issue, but my US Central Time Zone is GMT-6. So unless it has something to do also with Daylight Savings Time and time zones I can't figure it out.

    I have eTrex Legend and am unable to upload a GPX file downloaded from device with EasyGPS. I tried various GPX conversions with GPSBabel, but did not work out.

    I just encountered the same problem. I manually edited the gpx file to remove the blank lines on either side of the metadata section. That fixed it for me. Of course that is an unacceptable solution and needs to be fixed...

    Since this is the first day that I have used either GC or Basecamp, I don't know if there was a recent update to either of them that caused it to break.

    I managed to import the files using GPSBabel using the following command line:

    gpsbabel -w -r -t -i magellan -f /home/tmoreira2020/Dropbox/gps/2009-05-21-CLEANUP/Track\ Logs/TRILHA\ PERI\ RIBEIRAO.log -o gpx,gpxver=1.1 -F /home/tmoreira2020/test.gpx

    The option gpxver=1.1 made the trick!

    Add me to the list

    of people who can't manually upload to GC. In my case, I have a 310xt, and I use Garmin Training Center on a PowerPC Mac. Apparently, since uploading directly to my device from Training Center isn't yet supported, I'm supposed to manually upload to GC and then transfer to my 310xt. The export of the tcx file works just fine from Training Center to my desktop, the manual upload to GC fails along the order of the same thing everyone else is experiencing.

    Garmin, ANYBODY OUT THERE to help with this?

    Thank you, TMOREIRA2020! Manual upload worked for me using "gpxver=1.1"!

    I converted an existing gpx file like so:
    gpsbabel -i gpx -o gpx,gpxver=1.1 -f input.gpx -F output.gpx
