I'm sure this has been covered, but so far my attempts have been unsuccessful :rolleyes: . I have created several routes and waypoints in Basecamp, in a folder.The folder contains 4 lists, and each list contains daily routes and alternatives. So far, I've not been able to bring the routes in as separate routes, and at least one hasn't rendered correctly, having a direct line and not a route.
my objective is to import all the routes below to MRA, as separate routes with accompanying waypoints and preferably tracks. Could someone give me some pointers please?

List folder Porsche Provence 26

There's your problem. Basecamp.

Just plot them in MRA and you'll be good.
 
Berin: are you importing all from a single GPX or one at a time?
 
If you are importing a gpx file with a number of routes and waypoints into MRA it works a little differently to Basecamp. You can import a basecamp list with multiple routes as a GPX file and it will import them as separate routes. So in basecamp select File>export and your list/selection. Go to Myroute app and select upload select the file and for routes select ROUTE. For tracks import the same file as a route track (but you may get straight lines). If you convert each route to a track in basecamp and export from basecamp and import them one at a time into myroute app you will get a perfect track. For POI's if these are included in the routes they will come into MyRroute as "Hand" waypoints/via points. If you want a custom POI list as you have in "Porsche provence 26" then export the list as a selection from Basecamp to a GPX file and import the list as a GPX to POI'

So import routes as Route, Tracks as route track and POI's as POI's

Now to include custom POI's and make them visible in a route you need to select the route go to poi's an enable your imported POI's in your library

You also have to be zoomed in to 5km at least to see custom POI's that you have included to be visible but aren't included on your route.

Hope this helps.
 
Thanks Mzokk. So, to be clear, can I export all of that Porsche Provence 26 folder from BC as 1 GPX, but then by selecting import routes in MRA I'll end up with separate routes? Then do tracks/poi's separately
 
Yes. Routes should come over separately even if in one file. Do tracks one at a time or they join up! And POI's have to be imported separately also.
