Re: How to transfer waypoints to SD card on XT

gdb files are similar to the universally transferrable gpx files. <-- found that on google. I learned to use the .gdb file extension from using the Garmin MapSource program in 2007 when I had my zumo 550.

Re: How to transfer waypoints to SD card on XT

To me it's more important to have good organization with Base Camp's Lists and List Folders than it is to detail the routes on my XT. so the SD card is not organized into several folder structures? you mean the SD card is a catch-all bucket of all routes and waypoints? sorry but I don't understand ...

How to transfer waypoints to SD card on XT

I created several waypoints and a route in Basecamp and now I'm ready to transfer them to the 64GB SD card on my XT. All that the SD card has on it now is a music folder called MP3.
