Transferring Tracks from BaseCamp into a Garmin Automotive Device

A track is a recording of your path. A track log contains information about the recorded path including time, location, and elevation information.

You can send tracks (.gpx files) from the BaseCamp™ software into your Automotive device. You can then access them in the Tracks App on the device.

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.
