[quote=khdetwei;3683]The GPX file created from the summary page can be imported into Backcountry Navigator on Android and it works great. However when attempting to import these same files into Garmin BaseCamp for use on the Garmin GPS it fails with "Unknown error opening the file". The ones from the Downloads page are able to be imported in BaseCamp. [/quote]

This has now been fixed. The Route Finder GPX downloads now work in BaseCamp.

Thanks Ben. I'm tech savy so I may take a whack at it by comparing with the ones that work. If I figure it out I'll post here, otherwise will wait for you to get back.

It must be the same error I had to fix on the downloads page. It is simple to fix - unfortunately, I am leaving right now for the Quetico and won't be able to fix it until I get back.

For the tech savvy, it is just two elements/attributes that need to be switched around in the file. If one is deleted, it works. I can't remember, though, which elements they were. BaseCamp seems to want them in a certain order.

[quote=khdetwei;3681]How can I do a GPX download of my route for import into a Garmin and/or Backcountry Navigator on Android? [/quote]

If you have Map Enthusiast or higher, you can download a GPX file of a route with the surrounding campsites and entry points. After you calculate a route, a button is shown at the bottom of the summary page.

GPX Download Button

If you want a GPX download of all the campsites and portage end points, go to the Downloads page.

I'm not sure if I'll do a "direct transfer" to a Garmin, but I'm planning on making a GPX download, which you could use to transfer to a GPS.

Any chance you could add links like the Geocachers to shoot coords to an attached garmin?
