![]() This is going to be for a Historic TSD - Time Speed Distance Rally we are putting on that first ran in 1954 in New England. I'll also show a spot that for the life of me cannot get it to run around the block and back onto the route.įinally, if I upload the route to my 26XX unit I assume I need to have all the routing options the same? Is there no way to force the unit, no matter which one to keep the route as I have it set? I can see 2 direction arrows and the place it runs too appears to be a node, or point that sometimes I did not insert other times like in attached example I have a RI (wayoint) along the route with no change i direction, just a "helper" and it seems to run back to it? So, I may have misspoke about off road, that was an earlier issue, but why do I get the route running in the right direction for miles, then it runs back along the route and back again? Once I have the route correct I am going to upload into my 2600 series unit so we can do a reconnaissance and drive the route to make corrections or notes for when we have the group run it latter this year. This is very frustrating, once I think I have a good portion of the route good I save it, so I broke the overall route into 5 sections, or legs. I did recreate tracks from those routes as they never change, but they do not allow me to run routing directions. Once I get the route exactly where I want it how can I "lock it" so it does not change. The route instructions do not say "leave road". This makes review of all the shaping and many many waypoints difficult. I am confused that the route does not stay on roads, as I thought it would. ![]() (I had it on fastest route, no option to have none on that setting). I had the Routing set to automobile and had U turns, ferries and carpool lanes as avoids. I rubber banded the routes where it ran in the wrong direction. I also reviewed the route directions and made sure all the waypoints were in the correct order. I then created routes from the tracks, but still had to adjust a number of places, sometimes the route would double back because the waypoint was slightly off the road. Once I was fairly happy with the tracks I imported them into Basecamp along with the waypoints. Once I created 4 tracks by locating numbered route instructions (waypoints) I traced between them with quite a few shaping points (Google Earth points). I used Earth because I needed to see some streetview data and information like covered bridges. It is almost 1000 miles long and it is important that it follow the original route.Īfter giving up trying to force the route (it would constantly change based on the routing profile) I created a track in Google Earth. Please feel free to modify these instructions if you have a Windows machine or have found the process to work differently on other models of Garmin GPSs.I have been working on a retracement of a historic auto route for the past few months. Import to trip Planner?’ Select ‘Yes’, select the new route, and select ‘Import’. Rename it a short and descriptive name.ģ) Using the Hand tool, move the map until the starting point is found.Ĥ) Select the Create Route tool and drop a point at the starting point.ĥ) Continue to select points along your route:ī) Use the scroll keys on your keyboard to move the map.Ĭ) Zoom in or out using the controls in basecamp.Ħ) When done with the route, click on the Hand button.ħ) The route will show up to the lower right of the Basecamp window.Ĩ) Right click the route and select ‘Get Info’ĩ) Uncheck Autoname and make the name match the file that you created earlier.ġ0) In the Get Info tab you can also check your route mileage.ġ1) Close the Get Info tab and right click again and select ‘Send to Device’ġ2) When ‘Transfer Complete’ click okay, close Basecamp, and properly disconnect the Garmin from your computer.ġ3) When you next power up the Garmin you will receive a prompt saying ‘New Routes Found. After doing that about a dozen times, I wrote a step-by-step intruction sheet based on the video.Ĭreating a New Route in Basecamp for the Garmin 590ġ) Connect the 590 to your computer and open basecampī) A new file will show up called 'New Route'. If you have a Garmin, you can just plug it into your computer and save the route to the Garmin.īecause my memory isn't what it used to be, each time I build a custom route on BaseCamp, I need to re-watch this video. So, he needs to save his custom route to a memory stick and then transfer it to his bike. ![]() Also, the maker of the video has an integrated GPS on his motorcycle. If you use a Windows operating system, BaseCamp will look different but all the same controls are there. In this video BaseCamp is being used on an iMac computer.
