I'm so glad it helped. Basecamp is no joke -- it has a high frustration factor, for sure.

It would definitely add adventure to the ride :)

I'm so glad!

Hi Gary. Yes, the stops do carry over into the gps. When you transfer it from Basecamp into the device, you'll access it from the "My Trips" app on the Zumo.

@@MototasticAdventures I did in fact, last night, find my stops listed in "Saved places" (recently found). I'm using a new DriveSmart 65 for automobile trip use. But they don't show up on the gps map route. Seems like seeing your places of interest on the map at least would alert you to get directions if those have to be looked up in the saved places page. They do show up on the base camp map as flags & identification when hovered over. Thanks again for your interest in helping your viewers.

@@garycolson3010 Are you using a PC or Mac? I'm not sure if there's much difference in the application, but I wonder... I'm not familiar with Apple OS. I have a friend who uses Apple, and his process seems to work about the same as mine on the PC. I googled the DriveSmart 65. I see it has apps available, but am not able to see which apps it has. I am assuming that the "My Trips" app is a staple for all Garmin products. I'd love to try and troubleshoot with you. Have you had any further luck in getting the turn by turn, yet?

@gary colson Also, sometimes, when I don't have a PC, I enter the waypoints directly into the 'My Trips' app in the device.

@@MototasticAdventures Thank you so much for your helpful efforts. Don't think I'm communicating clearly. To answer your question, don't see a "My Trips" app in the Garmin DriveSmart65, but do have "Trip Planner" app which stores trip flagged points I have transferred from "My Maps (Google) to Garmin "BaseCamp" to Trip Planner (GPS). Again, when selecting such a Trip saved in "Trip Planner" it contains all the flagged point locations that originally were identified in "My Maps" & transferred fine into base camp & ultimately show up as titled location points in the "Trip Planner" list. I expected those listed/saved points of the Trip in "Trip Planner" to automatically show up on the the GPS route that transferred , per your excellent instruction video, perfectly to the GPS map of that trip. I thought the map route path would lead one to each of those points as it did in basecamp. As an alternative, would it at least be useful while riding a highlighted rout on the GPS map, if those flagged points listed in "Trip Planner, or "My Trips" were noted in some way on the map. One would then at least be reminded that directions to those points of interest would be available by scrolling though "Trip Planner" & selecting that point for the gps to show the path to that "way point". I think your answer is that one can put those listed points into the map ahead of riding the trip to alter the route to those points. Anyway, if my "wants" are misplaced or the communication still confusing, no need for you to waste more time trying to figure things out. Trouble shooting fun can get old real quick & you've expended admirable effort on this issue.

It's trying to get you from where you are, to the first waypoint. Once you get from your current location, to the first waypoint you plotted in VA, it'll follow the route you plotted to Pennsylvania.

If you want to see the turn by turn in your device, you can go to "saved trips". Select the trip. Tap the wrench on the top, left corner. Scroll down to "view turns". You can see the turn by turn from the plotted route, here.

So glad it helped!

Hi. You want to create a route from your tracks. When you export from Google Maps to Basecamp, it transfers as tracks. If you don't have the map downloaded onto your pc, you'll need to plug in your Garmin. Basecamp will use the maps loaded in your Garmin to apply the tracks to the map (getting rid of the straight line in Basecamp). Once you have the tracks imported into Basecamp (it's grey on mine), you need to hover over a portion of the track (in Basecamp). Right click, and convert your tracks to route. It'll take a minute while it processes this. When the route is calculated, it'll turn from grey to the color you chose for your tracks. Clear as mud? LOL. Try this, and see if it helps. 1. plug your Garmin device into your computer 2. export your route from your mapping software, to a file on your computer. 3. Open Basecamp. Import the file you just downloaded. Even though it was a route in your original mapping software, it's now converted to a track when it imported to Basecamp. 4. Because your Garmin device is plugged in, your tracks should be the shape of the route you want. It needs the maps stored into the Garmin device to make sense of the tracks. 5. Right click on the tracks in Basecamp. There will be an option to convert tracks to route. Choose this. It'll take a minute to convert. 6. Now drag the newly created route from "My Collection" to the device. Once it's downloaded, unplug the garmin from the computer. It should shut down when disconnected. 7. Turn Garmin device back on. It'll pop up saying, "New routes found. Import to trip planner?" Hope this helps some :)

Sorry, I haven't worked with that device before. If you're in Basecamp, you'll get the straight line if Basecamp can't find the map. Make sure the map is downloaded on you computer. With a dash or motorcycle Garmin, you can plug it into the USB on your computer. Basecamp will find the maps in the Garmin device, if the maps aren't on the computer. Do you still get the straight line with your device plugged into the USB? If so, the device doesn't have a map downloaded to it that Basecamp can reference. If your device does have the map (of your country) downloaded, and you're still getting the line, try right clicking on the line and choose the 'create route' option.

I find Google My Maps more intuitive and user friendly than Basecamp. Thus my preference for transferring from Google My Maps. But, if you're good using Basecamp to create your routes, cool. More than one way to peel a potato, for sure.

Base Camp is not user friendly, nor is it intuitive. It is ancient software. They do update it, but the bones of the program are terrible. BUT IF YOU GO WHERE CELL SERVICE IS BAD, there is really no other WORKABLE choice than Garmin products. You can work things out on a garmin GPS and shape the route, but at the end of the day the view lacks detail and will not include surface streets so you are forced to use a full size computer, with mouse, and generate an accurate route that has waypoints on the road, in the direction of travel, not the southbound freeway lane if you are going north, not off the road 20 feet into someone's driveway - all of those things will halt a ride. It is not for everyone, but if you demand accurate mapping, for a motorcycle trip etc - you have to invest the time to really learn Basecamp or something that works for you. If you don't invest the time, Basecamp will never work for you because it is so non-intuitive. But if you truly learn its features and terrible interface, you can make music with it just like a maestro with a crappy violin.
