Re: Reverse route in saved trip

Like was mentioned by sussamb, divided highways cause issues.... I tried using the 'invert' route in BC, not thinking about some route shaping points. I ended up with basically the route in reverse, but with some loop-d-loops around my shaping points.... Needless to say I had to add new shaping poin...

Re: Is Basecamp really as crap as it seems?

I don't know as I would consider a Microsoft Surface a suitable device to run basecamp..... What I have read about them is that they are more of a tablet, than a computer, even with a keyboard connected. As far as the compatibility of .gpx files, there could be something hidden in the file from the ...

Re: Basecamp

If that is all you have installed local, then yes. There is the variable of what gps you have, some units have more options than others. I have all the topo maps from my XT, that I previously didn't have with my 2820 and 550, so it varies. You will likely have different mapsets for EU than what we h...

Re: Basecamp

Well, that depends on whether or not you have a gps attached to the computer. With NO gps unit attached, the drop down list should only show maps that are installed locally to the computer. With a gps unit attached, the drop down list will show maps available to basecamp, installed local on computer...

Re: Map Details

Can you confirm where you're seeing this? I'd like to take a look. Well, if I can get it to repeat again, I'll post pictures. I must have had a glitch with the XT regarding the maps, as I also have an OSM mapset available on the XT, though not active, and the OSM map does have these extra roads tha...

Re: Map Details

Not sure I fully follow this. Do the roads never appear or is it just that they appear at different zoom levels? If the latter that is just a difference in the way they work, just like the routing algorithm in BaseCamp doesn't exactly match the algorithm in every Garmin device, which explains the d...

Re: Map Details

Well, that's how I got the map on the computer in the 1st place, that's how I presume that it is the same identical map... the latest express update wouldn't let me install to the computer until the map was installed on the XT 1st. I haven't tried BC with the XT connected and utilizing the XT map......

Map Details

CNA2023.1 I have the map loaded on both Basecamp and the XT. In Basecamp with details at 'highest', it shows less detail than the same map on the XT. I checked that the zoom level was the same, 120ft or 80ft shows the same on the PC. Specifically I have noticed some roads/streets in a cemetery that ...

Re: Power overload cut off

Stu, I here you on that one... I dislike being the guinea pig as well.
Even at work I won't allow system updates to our BAS system until someone else has done them 1st.

Re: CN NA 2023.10

I haven't installed this update yet, but have you tried changing your zoom level and see the results?
Could similar to how Basecamp works with maps. The more you zoom in, the more detail you can see.
Just a theory...
