[BaseCamp] BC and Google Earth Pro

[saddle sore]

OK, I just used the export/import and got part of what I wanted, but not
all.  I highlighted the List in BC, selected File>Export, then placed it on
my C drive.  Went into GEP, selected File>Import and selected that saved
file.  All of the waypoints were put on GEP but not the route.         So I
tried by highlighting just the route in BC and exported the selected
material.  When I imported it into GEP, the waypoints came over (again) but
the route is still missing.   Still trying.......
