I did notice that some of the GPX files would fail to load into BC. Once on the Nav V these showed-up as Tracks - which I was able to convert to a Trip Planner route on the Nav V itself. I was then able to load this into BC, and proceed to move to the Nav V. I then used an online tool (there are several) called to convert the map to a GPX file. It was very easy to pick the roads I want, adding all the way points I want. I used Google Maps to plan each day's route. This was my gripe with Basecamp (BC) - so I call this a win Of note, this solution uses Google Maps to do all the planning - which I find to be an excellent tool. I wanted to share 'a' solution that appears to be working. Thanks for all the great responses and suggestions. Stick with it, and it will eventually make sense.Īny questions, either ask them at the Forum, or myself. It is a matter of knowledge and practice. I programmed the multi-day trip with relative ease. As a result we are heading to Northern Arizona, and Southern Utah for a serious tour. We will be celebrating 25 years of matrimony. ![]() I have a Garmin 595 World Traveller GPS, which allows me to install any of the Garmin maps on the device. (I have used their brains on occasion) yes I am a member, and sometimes I have a good point to say. there is a support group: This forum has a goodly number of knowledgeable people there. However all is not lost in learning BaseCamp. Something that is not guaranteed when using third party maps. The main is if the map on the computer is the same as the map of the GPS - you get the same routing as planned. ![]() There are good reasons for using BaseCamp. I have lost much in the way of blood, seat & tears caused by its predecessor (MapSource), and then BaseCamp. Yes, until you know how to use it it can be a pain. ![]() Yes, BaseCamp as a steep (Vertical) learning curve. Has anybody else had experience using their Android phone directly for long trips (and eliminating the Nav V altogether)? Do I export the route from Google to my Nav V? Is this even possible? Or do I mount my phone on the bike (water-proof Pixel 2) and skip the Nav V altogether? I have already confirmed that 'OK Google' works fine from my Cardo headset. The only other question I have is how to actually navigate during the trip. The only limit I hit was in the number of way-points that can be added - but planning each day separately took care of it. Each day is saved as a webpage, that I can send to my phone (for navigation) or to others for discussion. In about 2-3 hours I was able to plan my entire 7-day trip (in one-day segments) using Google Maps - including selection of each road and easily adding my nightly hotel stops. Is anybody using Basecamp to plan out multi-day trips? After trying for many hours, I can only conclude that Basecamp is completely useless. I use Google maps for my travel planning in the car, but I thought I would try the Nav V and Basecamp (on Windows PC). I have taken many multi-day trips, but for my upcoming trip (London, ON -> Asheville, NC -> London) I decided to pre-select my route/roads/etc.
