Re: Basecamp

If you are a slight computer geek and like managing data at the file level then exporting routes from Basecamp as .gpx files to you hard drive and then copying them to the SD card may be appealing because it allows you to give the files a name that is relevant to the route(s) it contains. This makes...

When the latest generation of 'wings first came I considered upgrading but one thing that was a major deterrent was my understanding that you could not load an externally created route into its nav system. I hope that has changed. Regardless, I would be posting a question like yours on one of the Go...

There is this reference to 'Proximity" associated with that restaurant waypoint in temp.gpx.
<gpxx:Proximity>804.672</gpxx:Proximity>
