#Garmin basecamp route planning problems android
I've found MyRoute to be a much easier interface with a Garmin GPS than Garmin's own Basecamp software.Ĭlick to expand.1) I've read that the Zumo XT and Apple laptops do not speak to each other very well and that Apple computers may require additional third-party software, such as Android File Transfer, to read and write files on this device. MyRoute is excellent for planning a GPX turn by turn route and uploading it to a GPS like a Nuvi, and the paid version of Rever allows you to upload that same exact route, but you can use it like a track (where you can see the entire route on the screen but you don't interact with it). Right now, absent being able to use Tyre, I've found that a combination of MyRoute and Rever work really well for me. I would have preferred to stick with Tyre, but I didn't want the rigamarole of signing up for a Google API key and having to put my credit card on a Google account. It also doesn't allow you to have multiple tabs (with different routes) open at one time so you could easily switch back and forth between the routes. MyRoute only lets you import a route to either the beginning or ending of the route you're currently planning, and doesn't give you the option to cut and paste. You could copy and paste a bunch of waypoints from one route and insert them anywhere within the route you were currently working on. I've been a MyRoute Gold member for a couple years now, and it is a really good route planner, but I really wish they'd kept more of the features that Tyre used to have, like the ability to import a snippet of another route from another GPX file into the middle of a route you were currently planning.
#Garmin basecamp route planning problems free
Using the free version, you can also export the route into many different file types and you can see the distance between the various points on the left, which is helpful when trying to plan gas stops. I've been using the free version of this one for a few years now and it's very simple to use for what I want - which is plot a twisty route, and then quickly transfer it to my GPS. To plan out my routes over that time, I've used MapSource, Basecamp and Tyre, while often using Google Maps on a separate page to double check my work, plan fuel stops etc. I have been using Garmin Nuvi's and Zumo's for 12 years now and do some pretty long and complicated rides. If there is one thing I really like about the dedicated GPS it's how tough it is and the beating they can take. Since my iPhone is my primary phone, I'm hesitant to have it serve double duty as my GPS too. They also have a subscription or membership based service which has some really cool features (info further down), but the free version is more than adequate for the majority of route planning we do. Since I've been using the free version for some time and really like it, I thought I would post this thread if it helps others.
