But my point about Basecamp is that for an average joe with only a hazy grasp of IT and maths, BaseCamp is too complex and obscure, not to say lacking in explanations of what it’s doing. It’s probably like trying to start and drive a pre 1914 motor instead of ...

Thanks all. Yes, I found some stuff similarly, the GPX standard doesn't support scientific notation, on the reasonable grounds that ordinary decimals number range to six or whatever digits work perfectly well for all earth-bound navigational purposes. I also found a number of other GPX-input ...

Routes from 3rd parties often fail on a device. It's always best therefore to import them into BaseCamp, make any adjustments you want and then send them to your device. Hi thanks, but I think you missed that we also did do downloads via BaseCamp, and plenty of these fail too. To be fair, we didn’t ...

@FrankB, thanks. The point about scientific notation makes sense. However, it’s interesting to note that you say it fails to load in Basecamp - I only tried this route via the third party convertor.

Hi, New user here, struggling with our particular variation in this shared minefield... Actually 2 users, pair of us, which explains some apparent odd memory lapses, as we're not telepathic, just married. Although the non-Zumo using half of this couple is XML aware, we would like to end up with a ...
