Help! can't get STAR routes to load

Ok, I tried Doug's method mentioned above. I get as far as associate gpx with Basecamp. When I try to do that and browse programs to associate it to, it does not show Garmin, which has my Basecamp program, as an available program.

Have you tried opening BaseCamp, then doing an import of the gpx files into your library? File menu -> Import into... (Ctrl-I)

..here's what I did

I downloaded the routes onto my computer.  I then hooked up my GPS to the computer and opened up basecamp on the computer.  When I did that, in the upper left hand corner of my screen is the option FILE. I clicked on that and got the option to IMPORT.  When I did that it shows in my DOWNLOADS, all of the STAR routes.  I clicked on each route individually,  then clicked on the OPEN button in the lower right of the section showing the routes. WhenI did that, they appeared in Basecamp, one by one.

I then clicked on DEVICE....clicked on SEND TO DEVICE....and sent the routes I wanted to my GPS.

I'm sure there are a lot of technical terms I left out, but since I don't know what any of them mean, I can only tell you what I did using the words I know.  :)

Paco Bulto:
Thanks, Pat and Choon. Once I got the routes into My Garmin in My Documents I was able to import them.

Interesting that we show 5 lunch ride routes and 4 lunch return routes. Is that so we can look at them and decide which one we want to take to The Hub and back?

I still would like to be able to associate gpx with Basecamp. If I get an email with a gdb attachment, I can just click on it and it will open in Mapsource. If I get one with a gpx, I have to first save it to My Garmin and then import it.

Thanks to all the help. Fortunately I have my Butler Motorcycle Map for the Ozarks and know most of the roads in that area and am not too bad at laying out a route in Basecamp on my laptop and then downloading to my 660.

See ya in a couple of weeks. (or less)

Yeah got a bit carried away as there are SO MANY good roads going to and from the Hub.  I even have a route 4 with lunch at Cliffhouse for another day so if they plan on doing that they might pick different roads for the Hub lunch ride.


Yes I was hoping folks would pick one out and another one back to get a taste of all the roads.
