Mine goes in under trips on the bike. Nothing went over to saved locations.

Try this link. It describes how to connect a thumb drive to an iPad.

i watched the movie.  he says, you're gonna need a file manager, and mentions ifile available on cydia.  that means jailbroken.  is there an option that doesn't require being jailbroken (that you know of?)

Not that I am aware of.

That is strange. When you import do you Select All? When I import a gpx file I Select All and it puts the route under Trips and all of the waypoints it puts in the Saved. Not sure why there is a difference. Would be interesting to find out why we are getting different results.

Does anyone know of a map/trip planning app that work well on an Ipad?

No do not select all just select the file that you named.
Have you looked at the video in reply 22

Garmin Basecamp question....maps...how do I get more detailed map to load to PC? The Global map comes with download of Basecamp doesn't list the roads in my neighborhood and some of the best riding roads along the river. Just seems to have major roads even when zoomed all the way in.

I hooked up my Garmin to the PC and have CN NorthAmerica NT2014.40 which gives me detailed streets, but only when Garmin GPS is connected. Soon as I unplug gps the maps and roads disappear leaving my points in nowhere land again. I would need to carry the pc and garmin on trips then too.....

UPDATE- answer below is correct or just copy file from Garmin GPS (mine was J drive) and paste it where computer has other basic map listed, mine was C:Garmin/maps

Do you use agar in Express to update your maps? If you do check your settings. You have the option to update device, computer or both. I think the default is device and as a result you do not have an updated map on your computer. change the setting to 'computer' and then update and that should then do the trick.

Using Garman Express but don't see agar?  also can add a device but its asking to connect with usb port or an antenna? Sorry but even in settings for Garman express I don't see how to update the computer....I just am having difficulty on everything it seems....

Bakon,
It's been a while since I have done a map update but vinver is correct. When using Garmin Express, on one of the first screens, I believe there is a hyperlink that says Advanced. When you select it, it gives you options to update the Map for the Device only, Computer only or both. Not sure if I have worded it correctly but the options are there.

[bakon]

Found it. on update screen when asked if ready to update. I was looking elsewhere. Head bang

Good so far with Basecamp. Updated, round trip 45 mile trip with waypoints to get the roads I wanted all worked good. Actually excellent. Liked it and directions went where I wanted when planned on pc in house.

Two questions
How do I skip a way point when riding? Skipped one intentionally "B" and went another road headed towards next in order of trip, waypoint "x" , gps redirected good trying to get me back to "B", but ignored instructions and kept going headed round to "X" the next waypoint. When I got to "X" it was trying to get me to turn to the skipped one instead of going home which followed "x".  SO how do you skip one on the trip?

And I didn't see the turn by turn at bottom, has the audio I was listening there...I know you said it didn't work well but I don't see it and when I select it to change, only takes me out of NAV and into the audio screen. I can change the two lower corner info screens by just selected them and selecting what I want them to be. Maybe bottom is in main menu of nav with the appearance?

Skip Next Waypoint:
To skip a waypoint you have to have software update 1.18.3. On the right side of the map you will see a small square box with 3 lines. Select this box and the screen will change to show your route options. You will see Stop, Skip Next Waypoint (route must be active to see SNW), etc,. Select Skip Next Waypoint.

Turn by Turn:
From the map go into the route options by selecting the small square box with 3 lines. Select Preferences (not sure if you have to scroll the options to see it). Scroll preferences to set Turn By Turn on. You can also turn on Lane Assist, Heading Up , 3D, etc,. When you go back to the map you will see the turn by turn below the audio display. If you select the turn by turn like you did with the audio it will display all the turns that you can scroll through. If you select a turn from the list you can zoom in on it. There are previous and next arrows that you can use while you are zoomed in to make sure they all look right.
