Hi
I just purchased a Garmin RV 760. I have updated the software and the maps.
I have created a route for a long trip out West and into Canada in a couple of months in RV Trip Wizard. That program allows me to export routes as .csv Files.
Is there any way to upload that route to my new Garmin?
Thank you for any assistance!
Easiest way is to convert to
Easiest way is to convert to .GPX and import to Basecamp. Basecamp can be downloaded for free at Garmin.com. You can then upload to the Unit from Basecamp.
Or you can recreate your route in Basecamp and upload it. Basecamp offers you all the tools to create custom, multistop routes.

I appreciate it's more work, but I use Basecamp to create a route, export as .gpx. I then import into Extra POI Editor, open each point, maximize map and go to satellite view. To ensure each waypoint is on the the right side of the highway and not in the middle of a ramp etc.
I then import it into Basecamp and test it by creating the route. This ensures that the routing doesn't try to take me some wonky roads, etc.

And if you have a Mac?

I imported the .GPX file
I imported the .GPX file from RV Trip Wizard into Basecamp, the issue is that it does not show up as a route. It shows the individual legs of the trip on the left hand side, but the legs are completely out of order. The only options I see to rearrange them is alphabetical order
Is there an easy way to get the route back in order?
Well ...
If you want to create one route in BaseCamp you can group select all the individual legs, then right click the selection and choose the Create route option. You'll then see a table listing the legs and can rearrange the order. Alternatively if you select the legs in order (using Ctrl + click) then right slick and choose Create route the route will be created in the order you selected the legs.

I created a simple route in
I created a simple route in RV Trip Wizard with 3 waypoints and saved it. It saved the file as a .GPX and imported it into Base Camp.
When I open the file in Base Camp, it shows the 3 points, but it doesn't show the route.
Still not figuring this out

When I click on an individual leg and right click it, it gives the option of "Create Route From Selected Track". If I choose all 3 legs, when I right click it doesn't give the option of creating a route.

Not all gpx files give the route info, some just send the points. If a third party app isn't working try loading the route into BaseCamp and view it there. If it works in BC send the route from there.

That's why...

If it says Create route from selected tracks then you're using tracks not routes, so first join the tracks then use the Create route option.
It is important though that you talk about the correct things, otherwise giving correct advice can be tricky
