Transferring Waypoints from BaseCamp to an Excel Spreadsheet

GPX files can come from a variety of sources and contain data such as routes, tracks, waypoints, and geocaches.

If the data you wish to export does not already exist in our BaseCamp™ software, these files can be imported then transferred.
