Is there an easy way to wi-fi waypoints &tracks to BaseCamp?
Hi, using a 67, is it possible to transfer waypoints and tracks to BaseCamp (on a Windows 10 PC) using Wi-Fi instead of the USB cable?

My method, I collect the GPX file from the 67 to Garmin Explorer, then I send it by email with Garmin Explorer and I retrieve it on my Windows PC, it's a bit long but effective.

Just curious why all the extra work to avoid connecting a USB cable?

When you don't have a PC on hand or in nature, it's easy with the smartphone, even creating a track with third-party software like IGNRando in France (1/25000 maps), recording it with Garmin Explore and sending it to 67 is simple and easy.

The original question was how to send waypoints and tracks to BaseCamp via Wi-Fi.
BaseCamp only runs on PC and Mac, so a computer of some sort is present.
I am just curious why not use the USB cable?

Thanks, I suspected that the only way to connect to BaseCamp would be via a USB cable - I asked on behalf of a 67 owner. Thank you.
