Hi Guys
I'm trying to sent a route via Email
but when the recipient
opens it it arrives with all my routes
any idea how I can get to send the single
route only
Thanks
Del

Put the route in a separate list, export that as a gpx then email it.

I made a folder in My Documents on my computer called Garmin Routes.

In Base Camp:

- in the bottom left, highlight the route you want to email;
- at top, File/Export/Export Selection. If you choose XX file name instead of Selection, it exports ALL the routes as you describe;
- select where you want to export it to (Garmin Routes for me above) and SAVE.

Now you can attach that 1 file (route) to an email.

Yep Tried that
but for some reason its saving my whole collection

I think you are selecting too much.
As @rbentnail said, Bottom left, select only the individual item(s) you want to include.
Then File>Export>Export Selection

Yes I tried that but its still sending my full "Collections" folder

Then I suspect you're not doing what is described above. Please check carefully you only have the route you want to export selected.

Typically when Base Camp is opened, the entire Collection (on the left, top) is highlighted. You have to pick a singular list. In the top left pane it's broken down by Collection/List Folders/Lists. Highlight a list.

Then in the bottom left pane, highlight a single route. Then follow the instructions above.

Sorry @sussamb
But I can Guarantee I'm doings exactly as described above
and have been doing this for some time without any problem
This Issue has only just arrived and was wondering if anyone else had had the same problem.

So you are sending your route by email

You are selecting just the route, and then using the option to 'Export Selection' ?

You then have to save the result in a file somewhere. Something unique. For example "Exported Routes 13 May 1734 Attempt 327.gpx"
Make sure that you know where you have saved it. ie which disk drive and which folder.

Start a new email and send the file with your new unique name.

But be aware - if you have used any Waypoints (created with the BC flag tool) in your route, they will be included in the route and will be loaded into the Zumos 'Favourites'/'Saved' - even though you didn't actually select them from the Basecamp list. That is because they have to be - they are part of the route.
