Help! can't get STAR routes to load
<< < (2/5) > >>
Paco Bulto:
Ok another question. I have both Mapsource and Basecamp on my PC. When I clock on a .gpx file to open it, I get a message that windows can't open that file. If I click on a .gdb, there is no problem.
RIDEMYST:
Open Basecamp and import the files.

Assuming your using a Microsoft system Go into control panel Click on default programs Click on Associate a file type with a program scroll to .gpx associate it with basecamp
You may also be able to right click on the .gpx file and open with Basecamp.exe You can usually find Basecamp.exe in Program files or Program files (x86) if you're running 64 bit Then Garmin Then Basecamp and you should see Basecamp.exe

I loaded the Tyre to Travel software a while back then noticed it created the association for .GPX to their program. Not sure if it asked me or maybe created it since it didn't exist (may not have loaded a Garmin GPS product there that created the association.
Most programs have a File Open operation, or you may be able to drag and drop the file from a folder into the program to open it that way. Associations are just a shortcut to doing that, and something us old time computer users were used to working around and fiddling with.
