Hey went back to web page and opened the gpx file where it shows all the gibberish track info and then saved with gpx extension, opened basecamp and imported into library.  It showed up on basecamp so that seems to be the answer.  Thanks for your help.  Just need to get in on gps now.

I'm not sure how to do that.  I tried saving with different extension but gpx is not an option.  I tried all I know how, did I mention I am not a computer guy either.  I get by.

They are listed as gpx file downloads but when I save them they are saving as xml documents.  Maybe I am not saving them correctly?  I did get one that was listed as a gpx file to download and show up on basecamp and my Oregon so I know it will work.  I am just not doing something right and probably lucked or stumbled into the one I got correctly downloaded.   I did save a nice trail that is very popular this weekend so I will send him a note and see if he wants that.

I'm new to this and my new Oregon 450.  I downloaded NC, TN, and VA topo along with My Trails for this area.  There are lots of trails but some I would have expected are not there.  I have searched for tracks of these trails but can't seem to get them loaded on my garmin.  I saved the file on the desktop and then copied it to the gpx file folder after connecting my Oregon.  It does not show up when I open basecamp or on the GPS?  What am I doing wrong.  Some show up as KMZ files, have no clue what to do with those.
