Garmin Basecamp gpx to MRA - how?

[Gary Hargraves]

Hi all, apologies if this is the wrong place ot post this but I have been sent (ahead of a four day ride in southern Spain) four GPX files that have been created in Garmin Basecamp (i know, i know, how dare they?!!!). How do I import them into MRA in a working/readable/legable/navigable format? I have tried on my phone but the route/track doesn't snap to roads, it takes the most direct route between way points. Any help would be most welcome. Thanks a lot - Gary

@Gary-Hargraves it should be possible to use the MRA website to click 'Upload' the Route-track GPX from wherever you have it stored on your PC. Then from memory, I think it might be 'Use' or convert to a route - or similar. Anyway, I've done it before so try that and see where it leads.

@Gary-Hargraves I often export files from basecamp and upload them to MRA route planner. They come into MRA and preserve the shaping points and waypoints (Garmin Speak) as waypoints and via points (MRA speak) perfectly and route as planned. In Basecamp check that you don't have the navigation mode set as direct.

Or for the route properties

This is the route designed in Basecamp imported into MRA
