Viewing Routes Transferred from the Computer on an Automotive Device

Routes can be created on the computer in programs such as Garmin BaseCamp™ and then transferred to certain models of devices, or to an SD memory card. Once the created routes have been transferred, they can be accessed on the device.

To Access a Transferred Route, Follow the Instructions Below:

  1. Touch Apps or Tools
  2. Touch Trip Planner
  3. Touch Saved Trips
    • Skip this step on some devices
  4. Allow time for the device to automatically import the trip/route

The import will automatically begin, but no message will appear on the device indicating that the import is happening and may take several minutes to import the trips. Once the import is complete, all transferred routes will be displayed under a category called Unscheduled or Imported Trips in the Trip Planner. Until the trip(s) show up in Trip Planner, do not turn off the device or connect it to a computer.

Once the route is imported into the device, it may not perfectly match the route you had created in BaseCamp™. This is because a route will always use the navigation settings of the device itself.
