Can You import QGIS route into Garmin BaseCamp?
QGIS saves the line as a GPX route. You can import this route in Garmin BaseCamp (File -> Import). Give the track a meaningful name. My 500 km route consists of 3867 points, but most Garmin GPS units are only capable of showing 250 points per route. You can get around this limitation by converting the route into a track.
How to transfer a route from QGIS to your GPS?
Open the route in QGIS, right click the layer and select “Save As…”. Select ” GPS eXchange Format [GPX] ” as the format, and “WGS 84” as the coordinate reference system (CRS). I’m also skipping attribute creation as my line only contains coordinates.

Why does my GPS not work with QGIS?
When debugging a GPS (that appears to not be working with QGIS) it is best to start with GPSBabel and see if it connects and downloads data in .gpx format, which can be added to QGIS via the GPS Tools directly. You’re in luck, many users of more recent GPSes, whose interface is solely USB, may have more trouble getting their GPS to work with QGIS.
What kind of serial interface does QGIS use?
QGIS defaults to a serial interface, which your GPS also readily supports. Connecting via serial will also let you use the Live GPS Tracking tool. The tracking tool supposedly works with USB interfaces, but I have been unsuccessful connecting, except for serial.
