How To Export Your Garmin Basecamp Data and Import into Garmin Explore

If you are using Garmin BaseCamp to plan your next adventure, you might be interested in adding data from it to Garmin Explore. This blog post talks about how to do this with an easy workaround that is sure to increase productivity! Garmin Basecamp Support Ended in 2018 With the release of BaseCamp version 2018.40, support for Garmin Basecamp has ended. This means that any Garmin basecamp files you have saved on your computer might no longer be able to sync with Garmin explore or Garmin connect. Because of this, transferring data from Garmin basecamp becomes extremely important! The simple workaround for this is to migrate your data from basecamp to Garmin Explore, the web portal used by inReach and Outdoor GPS devices such as GPSMAP 66, Montana 700, and Tread. To do this, Garmin basecamp users should follow the steps below. Transferring from Garmin Basecamp to Garmin Explore To transfer your data from Garmin basecamp, you must first go to Garmin BaseCamp and simply select "My Collections" and click on "File" | "Export My Collections". From there, choose GPX as the file type. If you have a large library of data, you might want to export by waypoint, routes, tracks as individual data sets. You won't be able to export geocoded images, birdseye imagery, or Garmin adventures. Once you have created your collection, it is time to import the data. Select "Import" and choose which format or file you would like to upload into Garmin explore (Tracks / Routes). I will use Tracks in this example but note that Routes files do not allow for additional detail, so I would avoid using this. When I did my import, I've noticed the following issues as of January 2022: Waypoints are limited to 500 per upload Can only upload one file at a time Files larger than 50MB may be rejected. Waypoint icons specified in Basecamp does not carry over I would recommend breaking up your Basecamp export into smaller files are indicated above. Another big issue is if you've spent time adjusting the icon for each waypoint, you will need to start over again once the file is imported. This is a major flaw that I hope Garmin addresses to encourage the adoption of Garmin Explore. 🛒AMAZON IDEA LISTS🛒 https://www.amazon.com/shop/jimcyr 🚨🚨Check out my Can-am Defender Gear List🚨🚨 https://www.amazon.com/shop/jimcyr?li... - - - - - - - - - - 🔗 WEBSITE 🔗 https://avoidingchores.com https://gps.training 📧 NEWSLETTER 📧 https://www.getrevue.co/profile/thecyr 📻 PODCAST 📻 Find us on iTunes & Stitcher, search for "Avoiding Chores" 🌟POPULAR PLAYLISTS 🌟 Garmin Tutorials    • #GarminTutorials   Outdoor Recreation    • #OutdoorRecreation   - - - - - - - - - - What better way to avoid chores than to watch outdoor recreation based videos from Nova Scotia Canada.
