Guys thanks so much for these well thought out responses. So much information to process and understand. My trip will be 5 days and 1500 miles leading 5 bikes so I want my Garmin routing to be as fullproof as possible ( however in my case, if only it could be foolproof ). Understand about the via ...

Ok I have a test route of 10 miles or so through some vast estates and dual carriageways here and tried to understand the basics of how it works. I have found some weird stuff, I think , I am definitely no expert so this is just opinion. Its not just to criticise but to try and understand the best ...

Tried basecamp clicking on a created route, select centre of map then selecting each way,via or shaping point for the route and it is so easy check how accurately I have placed them. Another great suggestion, thank you so much.

Yes, did that last night after reading the ( rather fine ) document but didn't try a short test route today. Going to do about 6 runs with different tests to see how things work out and will feedback. Cheers.

Added the 4 hotels as `waypoints` so if it goes ...

Guys I just wanted to post thank you so much for this great information. It will take me time to digest, understand and try and work it out. I understand my use of terms is incorrect and my knowledge of the whole process is vague, hence I am trying to learn so thank you for your patience and ...

Think this is answered. Following a suggestion elsewhere it looks like the change route -> detour by distance would solve this sort of issue.

OK sorry for this daft story as my first post. Touring through France following a route I created in basecamp the night before. All going well until approaching a village where I will enter a big dual carriageway ( D/C ). I had put a waypoint in the village and then one on the D/C a mile or so ...

Cheers. Yes I thought they would behave the same, was so surprised when they look/feel so different. You would have thought they would add features and improve performance instead of re writing the whole interface. Anyway ancient zumo 220 ( still going strong ), zumo 346 ( causing the issues touring ...
