Transferring Data from BaseCamp to an Automotive Device or SD Memory Card

You can send imported, created or edited data (including routes and waypoints) from BaseCamp™ application to a compatible Garmin automotive device or memory card. You can select (Windows) or (Mac) from the toolbar after selecting the data you wish to send. You can also use one of the methods below.

NOTE: When using the Tread® GPS Navigator and all models in the Tread® series, it is recommended to use the Tread® App for managing waypoints, routes, and tracks. BaseCamp software can be used to manage waypoints and tracks, but BaseCamp does not support route creation for the Tread devices.
