BaseCamp on Mac with 3790 Garmin

I have several routes on my Garmin that I'd like to be able to see in BaseCamp but I have no idea how to get it to show up. I can import waypoints etc. but it doesn't import routes. In the import pull-down it lists routes but none come onto the computer. I see them in Trip Planner on the Nuvi but not on the BaseCamp. How do I get this to work?.

Base camp route import

Unfortunately BaseCamp cannot import a trip from your 3790 as a route. In this case, the transfer only works one way ... from the computer to the GPS. It does work with the older units (7xx and 14xx for example) that have the Custom Routes feature instead of Trip Planner.

I also am not aware of any third party utilities that will take a saved trip from the nuvi trip planner and convert it to a GPX file that could be imported into BaseCamp. But maybe someone else will read this and enlighten us.
