I have been creating trail maps in Geobuddy for use in my GPS. I scanned a paper trail map and calibrated it in Geobuddy (V3.77). I then traced the each of the trails, creating 5 separate color-coded tracks in a GPX file. When I tried to upload the tracks to my Garmin 60Csx, it looked like everything went right – showing 5 tracks to be uploaded – but only one of the tracks showed up in the GPS. In addition, none of the color-coding showed up. Later, when I selected a specific track from the file for upload to my GPS, it worked but it overwrote the previously uploaded track.
When I tried the same thing with the GPX file in Mapsource, all 5 were imported as expected and the previously uploaded file remained in the GPS.
Is this the normal procedure with Geobuddy?
Thanks

Select each track and click Edit Track. Did you put a unique name in the NAME field? If not, one will overwrite the others.

Thanks, Dan. That works great. :D:
Am I correct to assume the color-coding does not carry through and I must re-code the tracks in the GPS.

Thanks again.

Yes, ExpertGPS doesn't pass color information to the GPS.
