Got a GPX file i need to stick on my Garmin 800 but am having no luck.

Ive tried this method:

Plug in Garmin to laptop.

Locate GPX file, open Garmin from my computer.

Draged and dropped the GPX into "new files"

Unplug Garmin

Start Garmin, looked in "courses"...not there!

Help...

I had this problem the other day. Where the garmin appears on the drive list, I put it in both (garmin and garmin maps or similar) and then it appeared. It went mental and didn't work on the course though.

Are you "ejecting" the Garmin as a remote drive before unplugging it?

I've had this functionality work exactly once on one of two Edge 500s, and can't work out what's different about that time from every attempt since... Sometimes, I hate you, Garmin.

Open the gpx in basecamp and export to your Garmin that way?
