In Bacecamp (for PC), if you go under EDIT > OPTIONS > DEVICE TRANSFER, you can toggle on/off whether or not Basecamp creates that second route file that doesn't have shaping points. And, you can customize this setting for different devices using the drop-down box above.

A Via Point will announce and your GPS will require you to hit that point. If you change it to Don't Alert you are changing it to a Shaping Point which your GPS will NOT require you to hit it. I always highlight all points between Start and End, right click and select Don't Alert, then you're good to go and the GPS will reroute instead of sending you back to a Via Point.

I had this problem, awesome information.

[@1983lparker]

Foster M thankyou.

[@DanielBarron]

Very good to know. Thanks!

Is there a limit on shaping points like there is of 50 way points when importing to the GPS?

[@1983lparker]

Daniel Barron the limit is set by your zumo. Older ones have less but we are talking waypoints , shaping points are no limits in terms of numbers but only on the newer units. The 550 and 660 will auto convert shaping points back o waypoints on transfer. The newer 340,590 etc you can add as many shaping points as you like.

[@DanielBarron]

Right. Thanks. I've ordered a 350LM second hand from eBay. I will see how it handles it.
