Mike B. Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Has anyone used this for setting up preferred routes etc? I am finding it very difficult to use even after watching all the videos a number of times. Does anyone else find it difficult? All I want to do is click on Start & Destination on maps but it seems impossible to do this. Is it Me or Base Camp? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I have garmin mapsource installed on PC and travel laptop. I just use the "route tool" to plot the route I want to go......not where where GPS tells me to go! This way if I get it wrong its my fault. So if I want to use a section of toll road for convenience I can,and if i want to avoid them (as we have this trip to Spain) i can do that also. Then I just upload route to GPS from Dunkirk to Alicante cost us approx £40 in tolls using mainly N roads in France which were fine. Toll motorways in Spain cheap, campers class 1 same as cars, fuel also better value so toll roads not worth avoiding sorry not much help with base camp I'm afraid.....

Steve928 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Yes I use Basecamp and haven't found it a problem. I'm using it with City Navigator and OS Discoverer maps, plus a few others. I add waypoints along the proposed route and then create a route from these waypoints and finally put the resulting route GPX file in the Garmin/gpx directory on the device's memory card. Works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
