See my post with Google Earth examples.

The current Fork, Rayburn & LOP Vick Boatlanes track versions WILL NOT WORK properly because of the Garmin software on the Garmin units.
Toledo Bend Boatlane tracks might work on Garmin.

I'm going to guess Beast from the East has the old waypoint-only versions, except LOP. I've PM'ed him to discuss what he's seeing on his LOP, but have not heard back.

Two weeks ago, I imported a Boatlanes on a BassPro Garmin 93 series unit.
It imported the GPX fine, but tracks do not display due to Garmin's software. Todd Driscoll who has Garmins also has tested for me.

TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, Garmin does not display the current versions of Boatlanes correctly.

You will have to press Garmin to fix.

Garmin doesn't display correct.
HumminbirdPC doesn't display correct with Google Earth.

Hummingbird displays correct.
Lowrance displays correct.

HumminbirdPC has display problem, Humminbird units display fine.

I'll check out a Garmin workaround and will get back.

LittleGazoo has it right that Garmin does not currently support track segmentation. This is why the track end points are connected when importing into Garmin. However, the work-around is to use Garmin HomePort (free download) and the track Divide tool. Here, you are simply dividing the erroneous, end-point connected portions of the track into separate tracks in HomePort. Once a separate track, then these end-point segments can be deleted.

HomePort

Built a Garmin version.
This will be the complete Fork Boatlanes in a Garmin version.
22 tracks & 27 waypoints. As opposed to HB and Lowrance having 1 track & 27 waypoints.

Todd's going to run a Garmin test. Tracks and waypoint icons have to be verified.

Then I will send it to Lance & Lori Vick.

Ok.
Sent Lori Vick email with Garmin versions of Fork, Rayburn, Toledo Bend and Lake o' the Pines.

You'll need to give Boatlanes a little time to process them.

ZIP should contain GPX and GDB file versions created out of Homeport.

A lot of thanks to Todd Driscoll for his time testing Fork.

Enjoy

Just considering this a workaround until Garmin units support track-segmentation.

Garmin users need to be aware that the unit's maximum number of tracks is 50 tracks.

Fork has 22 tracks.
LOP has 18 tracks.
Rayburn has 16 tracks.
Toledo Bend has 1 track(one track-segment).

Note:
Homeport's GPX support includes a GPX-extension for track color(default dark-gray) which I set to black. Therefore if you import and export GPX, then the track color might be persistent. I don't know about GDB.

A guide on Palestine has a Lake chip card for Palestine. Would the guide have made the lake chip map? Just wondering.
