When I've created routes with BRT and sent them to device the route has gone into the right folder automatically, I send both gpx & tcx and let the 800 decide which it wants to use. When I turn the unit on and look in the couses screen the new one is always there.I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0

Thanks for the replies I have now sussed out how to put the file in the right folder, but as Redvee says I expected that BRT would put it in the correct folder in first place. So don't know if it's a Garmin or a BRT problem any more advice very gratefullyreceived. This is a great piece of kit, but sorting out how to use it is a nightmare, in fact impossible without kind people on internet giving advice0
