Thank you for your fast answer.
I place the gpx file produced by BaseCamp in a Garmin GPS' garmin/gpx folder and then import it to the GPS. What happens is that the GPS only seems to use the track. This is a problem if the route is recalculated on the GPS, only the start and stop waypoints remain of the route*. Also if the map used in the GPS is not the same as in BaseCamp the result is not very good. For these reasons I want to only keep the "original" waypoints in the route and let the GPS do the rest.
Add to that the file size is only a fraction.
What I have done up to now is that I delete the tracks and then save it as gpx1.0, that way it seems like a new file is created with only the original waypoints.
I am part of a group of motorcyclists and we use Routeconverter because then we can share routes between Garmins and TomToms with different maps on the units. It works wonderful with the exception of this, for me, annoyance.
Edit: What is so appealing with converting to gpx is that riders without BaseCamp or Mapsource can so easy import the route to their GPS by simply placing the gpx/itn in the garmin/gpx or /itn folder.
*This supposedly also sometimes happens when using BaseCamp to import the route. I never use BC so I can't confirm it.
Thanks.
