garmin route problems

[ddtwelve]

I've got a Garmin nuvi 250w with 2gb card all maps are on the main memory of the nuvi and the card is empty ,maps on the nuvi work fine(2012 maps) but im using basecamp to make the routes, the basecamp recognise the nuvi and the card so I've sent the route to the card using Garmin/route on the card as the file but when I go into the nuvi when all unplugged from the computer  the nuvi doesn't seem to find my new route im looking in the favorites app on the nuvi but apart from my home address theres nothing there what am I doin wrong as the route is a gdx file?
is the file on the card wrong ie garmin/route

I used to have one of them, the way I got round it was to set things as waypoints or favorites on the device itself. this is time consuming but does work.
I think you can also set them with mapsource and upload them to devices.

While I think about it I have the latest unlocked Garmin 2013.40 UK maps. if you would like them PM me and I will send you a link to them on my dropbox account.
