When I download my route as a .gpx file with surrounding camsites, on my Garmin it doesn't specify which site is my "end of day" site. Is there some way to make the "eod" sites stand out on the map as waypoints? As it is currently, I have to know the number of my site, aproximately where it is, then zoom in and look for it among several other sites.... kind of difficualt to do on a tiny Garmin eTrex 32x.

Anyone else have experience with this?

Thanks,

Joe

I added the end-of-day points to the route GPX download. If there are less than 10, they use red numbers. If there are 10 or more, they are red flags.

One problem I was having with Basecamp is that Day 1 is being named Day 11. I can't figure out why. The file appears correct, but Basecamp is renaming it. Since it appears to be a Basecamp issue and not something I was doing, I pushed the changes out live.

Just an FYI, in case anyone else is interested in this topic: You can change the the icons of any waypoint in BaseCamp.

So in my case, I have my 6 day BWCA trip with all the hundreds of surrounding campsites showing up on the map as little green tent icons on my Garmin eTrex 32x. In BaseCamp, I can open my file, and go to the individual camp sites (waypoints) I plan to stay at, right click and select "get info", then I can change the name from "CMP1996," for example, to "1st_night_CMP1996" and also change the icon to something other than a green tent (I chose a red pin for contrast) so they stand out. Then export your new .GPX

Thanks for adding the "Day 1, Day2, etc", but I ended up deleting those waypoints in the end because those red flag "Day 1, 2, 3, etc" icons appeared buried underneath the little tent icon on the Garmin so I still couldn't see it. I guess because they exist in the same exact location. It would be nice if you could put certain icons/waypoints on a separate layer and then control the order of those layers so the icons you want to see are on the top.... maybe there is a way to do that that I'm not aware of. Anyways, just thought I would offer that feedback to you.
