Yes, there is a good reason! Once you learn how to do it, it is MUCH easier to plan a route in Basecamp than on the XT, and virtually faffless to transfer it to the Zumo. Plus Basecamp will have all your data saved for the next time.

Relax - you probably won't need Bluetooth to start with!

Hrmmm...ok...I am not crazy but it seems to be working now. I could not find the original one that failed as i tried so many things to make it work. I created two new ones and they both work using the MRA and Drive app on the phone. Phew! I'm late joining the thread, but I have no trouble creating ...

If I'm publishing a route for my group to follow I plan it in Basecamp, but run the resulting gpx file through MRA. That tends to need a few additional shaping points to get the routing right.

I have to say this has reinforced my long-held practice of never allowing recalculations on the road!

I'd keep all my routes and waypoints on the SD card, if you have one fitted, which won't be affected by a hard reset.

Modifying a waypoint in a copy also modifies the original. Does that also happen when you duplicate a route?? Yes. If you think you will want to modify the waypoints, click "yes" when, having asked Basecamp to duplicate the route, it asks you if you want to duplicate the waypoints as well...

SD card and Android tablet for me!

I rest mine against my PC, leaning it back slightly. No strain on the cable, which curls up to the PC's USB socket.
