You use the 'mass storage mode' functionality. That program doesn't have to have connectivity directly to your unit the way that the Garmin products do. If I had taken a ride and wanted to share the track with you, I could do that as well, and similarly with a waypoint or set of waypoints.Д«aseCamp and Mapsource are both easy to use, but if you have a favorite program that does the same job (I haven't used OziExplorer in a long time, but let's use it for the same of argument) you can build routes in it and export the route in a.gpx file and upload it in this fashion to your unit.

Saying 'yes', you'd find the route in your list of routes and import it and be able to use it on the unit. When you disconnected your unit from the computer it would tell you there was new user data available and ask if you want to import it. If we were using the same mapset, though, I could send you the route I created from Pahrump to Ruby Valley, Nevada and you could drop it into the Garmin>GPX folder. Now, as a practical matter, I can't share a route with you because you're in the UK and I don't have the European mapset and you probably don't have the US mapset. When you do that you would see the unit as a drive.

I would send it to you in an e-mail (or attach it to this post if it didn't exceed 100Kb) and you would connect your unit to your computer via a USB cable. That program might be BaseCamp, Mapsource, or Tyre (if I was masochistic).

If I had a route that I wanted to share with you I could download it out of the program that made it. If something needs to be moved or changed just go back & use the (Insert) or (Move Point) tool.ДЄdded: you can then highlight the route in the L/H box & re-name it anything your want. That will undo the line (route) back to last via point. If by chance the line doesn't follow the road that you want then just click on (EDIT) (top of page) then click (Undo). That should allow the route to follow YOUR path & go where you need it to. Now just Left Click at points along the route you intend to make (not too close) so maybe after (or at) each turn, or at places you need to drastically change direction. Now (left) click on your starting point on the map (you should then have a line coming off the pencil). Then Click on the (3-box) (New Route) button (that should give you a pencil). Then get the map position situated so your are on the map area that you want to make a route.

I can see the value of BaseCamp.just getting a good product out easily is a pain!ДЄhha, very easy solution (I think) assuming the Mac version of Base Camp functions like the PC version-ДЇirst thing- make sure you have all the routing buttons turned on under (View), then, (ToolBars)

I've manipulated every preference selection to avoid this problem, all to no effect.ДR, if you can tell me how to make the magenta line conform with my input waypoints the first time, that would go a long way in solving my problem with BaseCamp!! Preferably step by step on PM if necessary, but I'd bet there are a lot of other guys out there anxious for the same information. Also, for simplicity's sake, I do each day of my trips separately. Too often I have had to start over again. The PROBLEM: The line never matches the waypoints, and I have to spend an hour or more dragging and dropping the magenta line to force it to conform with my programmed waypoints, multiple times on many waypoints. I then let BaseCamp create the magenta route line. Finally I enter an ending waypoint, designating it as such.

I enter more waypoints in consecutive order for backroads I want to travel (not many interstates, which I preference out). I enter a starting waypoint, designating it as such. DR, the biggest problem I have with BaseCamp is that the magenta routing line it creates never follows my entered waypoints.
