Basecamp, main collection and a mirror collection

marcossaad_

Hi Guys,

I went to a fish trip with a collection of waypoints belonging to a given collection named "Panorama" and to the main collection.

When I got back home I plugged my F7xPro to Basecamp to edit names and icons of the new acquired waypoints on the trip, saved them to a new list at basecamp and deleted them from the watch using Basecamp in order to let it clean to the next trip. So far so good.

After synch, as expected, all waypoints were not present in the Main Collection but turns out that they were present in the "Panorama" collection too. ... 

I erased them from the main collection by deleting them from the watch using Basecamp but this should not affect others collections ....

Any ideas?

Tks,

    I don't think Basecamp supports the collections feature of Explore. So any changes you will make to waypoints in Basecamp will probably end up being duplicated in the main collection because that's the default location where items are stored.

    I guess you haven't understood.

    I had the same waipoints in the Main and in the "XYZ" collection in the GEM iOS.

    Therefore all waypoints belonging to the Main collection were synched to my watch.

    I did a trip.

    So far so good.

    After my trips I always connect my watch to basecamp in order to save all new acquired waypoints for that location and then I delete all waypoints from the watch using BASACAMP.

    After synchronizing my watch to GEM again to reflect the changes I made in the Main collection (deleting all waypoints), I realized that all waypoints from the XYZ had been delete also.

    That should have only deleted the waypoints from the Main collection!

    Regards,

    Just trying to help man shrugging

    As I said I my guess is that Basecamp and the collections feature of Explore simply don’t work well together...

    Maybe someone else can offer additional insights.

    Tks.

    I think this to be a glitch on GEM.

    Deleting features directly on the watch using an external software will cause the Explore to delete those from all collections when after the watch syncs with the GEM.
