![]() ![]() The reason I want to download a route is that doing it only the hugely annoying tiny non full screen GC map is just that, annoying. It seems to be a bit of a faff (and an utter mystery to me at the moment) and I can't believe that it should be this difficult. I've tried converting the file through this but it just tries to open it in I.E. The files themselves form cycle route are already TCX or GPX so they should already work? I've tried dragging and dropping them into the Touring plus new files folder, but when I go to courses on the actual unit it shows it as a course in name only, no map, no distance just empty. If not, well use it (without Garmin Maps) to transfer the GPX file we created. GPX file.Right I may be being a little thick here but I don't seem to have basecamp, I open GC and then select create course, this then gives me the annoyingly small map page that is either Google maps or open street map, can't see a basecamp (just googled it and will download). If you own Garmin Maps, you can do all your route planning in Garmin Basecamp. Now I can do all the customizing within Google Maps which is quite easy by just dragging the track onto a specific route then creating the appropriate. Create a Route From a Track Using BaseCamp on Windows BaseCamp can be used to create a route based on a track from your device. The whole process was a bit cumbersome anyway by always having to drill in enlarging the Trip Planner map to find a specific road I wanted to travel on only to get that annoying error message when I touched it. BaseCamp is a GPS mapping application that enables you to analyze terrain, input waypoints and create tracks and routes for your next excursion. ![]() But more often I would touch a road on the map and get a message like "Invalid Location" which is clearly not correct. Sometimes I would have no problem touching the screen over a specific road on the map and adding it as an intermediate point to shape my trip. I am very happy I can finally do this as I was having trouble trying to create a custom route directly using the shaping option with Trip Planner itself. When I examine the resulting Trip I notice that the route is composed of the same number of Lat/Long waypoints created in the BaseCamp route and the Step-by-Step instructions faithfully follows the original tailored Google Maps route. GPX file with the "Maps to GPX" tool, import the file into BaseCamp, examine the resulting Track file, edit it if necessary, create a "Route" from the Track that I can then send to my DriveSmart 61 which is automatically downloaded into my Trip Planner trips. I am now able to successfully create a tailored map within Google Maps, create a. Organize saved waypoints, routes, tracks, geocaches, and photos. Create, view, and edit waypoints, routes, and tracks. We support Google Earth (KML), Garmin Communicator, BaseCamp and MapSource. No turn by turn, no recalculation, follow the line. Create personalized trips with multiple stops, automatically divide multi-day. Routes depend on the roads being on the map. Download and view BirdsEye satellite imagery. Routes can be calculated and recalculated based on various parameters, fastest, shortest, avoid Highways, etc. With BaseCamp, you can: Transfer data to and from your compatible Garmin GPS device. Thanks for the clarification about Tracks and Routes made up as a collection of Lat/Long waypoints in BaseCamp. Garmin BaseCamp provides an interface for viewing and managing geographic data. Take a look at the Routes and Track links in my post #2 above, it is all explained on that page, if the Route is generated in Basecamp rather than being imported into Basecamp then the program can pick up names from it's map and attach them to waypounts, see link below :. With a Route you get from one waypoint to the next by following a road, path or other map feature NOT a straight line, so with a Route you could have just two waypoints a hundred miles apart and the satnav will calculate all the twist and turns for you, with a Track you would need many waypoints to show every change of direction. Basecamp produces Routes and Tracks, they are not the same thing, both Routes and Tracks are made up from Lat/Long waypoints BUT there are differencies in how you move from one waypoint to the other, with a Track the jump from one waypoint go the next is always a straight line so if you want a curve you need lots of waypoints close together.
