- Garmin Zumo/Basecamp - What maps do you use? - Adventure RiderI've downloaded .gpx files for the IDBDR and can see them in Basecamp, but can't upload to my XT.

Am wading through the big XT thread on here but its 200+ pages, so slow going...I'd like to just use Basecamp and the XT for all route planning and capture if possible.
