Video 2 Starting a route on garmin basecamp the basics

[@thewoodster8607]

Hello mate. Thanks very much for this video. It's possibly the easiest and most straightforward tutorial that I've found on You Tube for complete beginners. I'm planning a Picos trip for May and this is my first use of base camp. I ran a test route today and although it did work OK there were some issues. I've now gone back to this video and now know what I've done wrong. Top man.

Glad it has helped you, stick at it and it'll become second nature 🤘👍

Great primer. Thank you.

Hi, great video, your basecamp toolbar seems to have a lot more icons than the one I’m using. I have tried to customise mine, but I don’t have the choice, please advise.

I followed this to the tee. But on my later version, as soon as i start plotting the route, the point isnt only highlighting where I have clicked, but other roads that I haven't clicked on...this is what frustrates me with this program

Thank you for this. I hated BC, I'm still not keen on it but this made it a lot easier to understand

Hi Parker I've watched your videos alot and find it very helpful, 1 question I do have is once I've done routes and transferred them to my satnav, will the routes still work over and over again even when your satnav as been updated

[@1983lparker]

What I would do is update the maps in Basecamp and all the routes within Basecamp will auto update. Then as long as your zumo is running the same maps then yes it will work over and over.

Hey Parker - I know this video was made almost 2 years ago i really hope you're still monitoring this video because i really need you're help - I've seen a million and one youtube video's and your's are without a doubt the most detailed and easiest to follow - with that said - i'm apparently doing something wrong. I've learned now how to plot a route which is amazing but for some reason when i'm importing it into my Sat Nav ZUMO 395lm from basecamp its not transferring as one file with the name i saved as "NEW MAP " its importing like 27 different points and whenever i go to gPS and click on import all - when i choose one of the 27 it will only plot one point out of the entire route ?? I have no idea what I'm doing wrong - When i imported i did highlight all the route points and right click and send to device - please help me!

[@paulandsiantours]

I have only clicked once and already its going wrong. Basecamp has plotted something I haven't even asked for? This is the second time of trying basecamp because my experience and reviews from others show how bad it is as a navigation software. it takes me days to do what should be 20 mins

[@1983lparker]

The software does what it is intended to do. People don't realise the algorithms of how it plots it hence the problems. Make sure it's set up as in video 1 and try again, it definitely works and yes it isn't simple but the in-depth navigation you can do is a benefit to you if you like me travel great distances on minor or off road as well as motorways. It works flawlessly once set up correctly. Cheers.
