![]() ![]() If you are using the Garin Tread device, then you just need the Tread smartphone app to allow connectivity to your Garmin Explore account. Garmin is more frugal and even on the new devices limits you to 15,000, or 10,000. Delorme devices don't really worry about the number of points in a track and consequently depending on speed and time an individual track can have more than 100,000 track points. You can either use the Garmin Explore website or app to do this. This is not uncommon when using PN series tracks on a Garmin device. Once you have imported your data, it is ready to be synced to your devices. This is a major flaw that I hope Garmin addresses to encourage the adoption of Garmin Explore. 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. I would recommend breaking up your Basecamp export into smaller files are indicated above. Waypoint icons specified in Basecamp does not carry over.Files larger than 50MB may be rejected.Waypoints are limited to 500 per upload.When I did my import, I’ve noticed the following issues as of January 2022: I will use Tracks in this example but note that Routes files do not allow for additional detail, so I would avoid using this. Basecamp will list the tracks in a dialog box and ask if you want to delete the original ones. Then right click and select Join Selected Tracks. Use the Control key to select the ones after the first one. ![]() Then select the tracks you want to join in order. Select “Import” and choose which format or file you would like to upload into Garmin explore (Tracks / Routes). This is easy to do in Basecamp once you know how. ![]() Once you have created your collection, it is time to import the data. After years, Garmin has released a new version of Basecamp, 4.7.0 This is not an improved at all, Garmin only removed features and introduced a serious bug: Maps that were installed within the windows register (by installer or setup. So in this case, we will create a new collection called “Basecamp Archive” where we will import our exported files and associate them to the collection. All the data is structured similar to Basecamp where you have your “Library” and then create collections or filters to view data sets. Older devices will still need to sync a collection via the Garmin Explore smartphone app.įrom the MAP tab, you just need to create a new “Collection” this is where we will group our Basecamp data. This means that you don’t need to sync your Explore collections, all you need is your smartphone data services to view the Explore content on the Garmin device. With the recent addition of the Garmin Tread off-road GPS device, Garmin Explore is now embedded in the device. This is built off the inReach portal, so you may not see all the same features if you are using a Montana or GPSMAP 66. Garmin Explore is a web-based tool that allows you to sync your GPS data with outdoor-based GPS devices. You won’t be able to export geocoded images, birdseye imagery, or Garmin adventures. If you have a large library of data, you might want to export by waypoint, routes, tracks as individual data sets. 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”. It takes a few steps to export tracks from Garmin Basecamp to view in Google Earth now but it’s still possible.Transferring from Garmin Basecamp to Garmin Explore Because of a change on the Google Earth side and a lack of resources for updating Basecamp, they removed the feature instead of updating it. I’ll be reviewing the premium version of Gaia GPS in the future so stay tuned for that.īasecamp used to have a nice feature where you just click on a track and then ‘Export to Google Earth’. I hope they move it all online and make sharing easier. I wish Garmin would add more features and update Basecamp but it’s still the best track editor and organizer I’ve found. I use a Garmin Montana 600 GPS so all my GPS tracks are stored in Garmin Basecamp. The satellite imagery on the maps is so detailed in many places which makes it easier to see little features that may not show on a topographic map. I use Google Earth all the time to see GPS tracks and waypoints. You can see what kind of land you are going to be encountering, or see a birds eye view of the trails and land you just hiked. Google Earth (GE) has become an indispensable tool for viewing hiking tracks and planning out your hike. ![]()
