Hi, I recently bought a Montana 650 and seems either file transfer has gotten very difficult since using my Quest or I have became very stupid.  I have loaded both BaseCamp and RoadTrip on my MAC and attempting to put what I see on the computer screen onto the Montana 650.  All I seem to be able to transfer is waypoints, not the tracks or highlighted Rubicon trail that someone was nice enough to send me their .gpx and .gdp files of the trail.  I was stupid enough to purchase the birdseye from Garmin and can view it in BaseCamp with the highlighted trail / tracks on top which looks good, but when I went to transfer it to my Garmin, got an error for the unit id telling me to contact Garmin.  So I can live without birdseye, but it would tickle me pink to actually see the trail between waypoints on my new 600 dollar gps unit.  I have also downloaded OSM, routable open street maps which seem to work ok, but the trails are keeping me up at night.  Wide open for guidance, you can speak to me as if I were a 4yr old and I would still be grateful if it helps.
thanks
Powell
