Thanks guys. Your assistance is greatly appreciated and exactly what I needed to know. I'll have a look at the tool suggestions and decide if I want to give it a go.

Boyd,

Thanks for the quick reply. So I still have a bit of a learning curve to master the terminology. I am trying.

So what I see after loading the mapfile I got from this site (Moab UT) I can get the Nuvi over to that part of the country and I can see each entire trail that has been mapped. They are even color coded for difficulty. Color coding my collection is a later step, but can I make my collection of waypoints and breadcrumb tracks appear as beginning to end routes as the Moab file displays? How did the Moab map makers do that? I run my trails fairly often. I can collect the data differently if I need to in the future. Or is there are way in BaseCamp or MapSource to display the tracks and draw/edit them some way to be able to import into Nuvi (as the Moab file displays)? Again, thanks for your help and patience as I get my mapping legs under me.

Good Day All,
So I've been using extrex legend for years and have lots of cool routes saved. How do I offload them from extrex to my Nuvi 2597? I also have a .gpx file from a buddy (similar routes) but I can't get them to load properly into BaseCamp to transfer to Nuvi. I can see some of the specific waypoints but none of the tracks (which I CAN see on the legend hand held device). Shouldn't these tracks show up on the new device? I loaded the Moab, UT map I got from gpsfiledepot.com and that loaded and displayed just the way I thought it should.

I'm sure this is a total newbie question but I've tried alot of things and just can't seem to bring it all together. Thx a bunch in advance for your time.
