Is there a way to leverage Google Earth / Google Map exports (KML files) and load them into BCN for route planning or navigation?

Oh, and I'm now a registered/purchased user.. Hard to decide between BCN and GeoScout, but in the end GeoScout was only good for geocaching, while BCN had more uses.

I did like the way GeoScout auto-loaded the appropriate map when selecting a geocache, however & after importing a single GPX, it would break them up and download the corresponding map.

For now, I think your best option is to use GPSBabel or something to convert them to GPX format. Then BackCountryNavigator should read them just fine.

Let me know if you get satisfactory results this way.
