Come on Garmin, admit defeat your tutorials don't come close to Tim's. Garmin should recommend Tim to anybody who wants to learn how to use Basecamp. I'm blown away at the detail and content of your videos. Anyway I must dash, as I'm off to watch part 6 now. 😂👍🏍

Nice and clear explanations on the Basecamp program. Adding waypoints after each major intersection is a good trick, but causes issues when reversing a route. You just moved them to the other part of a devided route, but you should also move them to the other side of the intersection to avoid the double messages of "you arrived ..." and "turn ......". The inconvenience of these added waypoint is not a big issue for me as I don't like to drive the same route on my return drive.

My go-to Garmin Base Camp tutorial videos, Thank you Tim!

Thanks again Tim

As clear as crystal, thanks.

Great tutorial. Thank you!

Great videos Tim well done and thanks for sharing. One item though I didn't seem to find in your videos and this is about sending POI's to Garmin GPS' along with the route. When you are on your motobike navigating a route on your Garmin GPS, you'd like the POI's to display on screen. Despite many tutorials I've seen, I'm not able to find a way of getting the POI's embedded in the GPS' route and display on screen. Can you show how is this done? Many thanks. Pedro

Thanks fantastic

I hope Garmin are paying you Tim, because without your videos, Basecamp would have to be the worst program I’ve ever used. The mere fact that you need to do so many videos only proves how clunky it is. Thank you so much for helping to make Basecamp at least bearable.

Awesome stuff! Thank you for taking the time to do this. Just a TX thing, Llano is pronounced LAN-oh :)

Every video builds on the last, which is great. I assume we'll learn this in upcoming videos, but I'm hoping to understand how to modify the autorouting situation where I want to start out on interstates to get out of a big town like Atlanta, but then avoid interstates after that. I did figure out how to modify the autorouting for car vs motorcycle, and now my gps has the "adventurous routing" sliders, but I'm stuck either ignoring the route (which then tries to recalculate on the GPS), or spending a ton of time fixing the ends of the route while leaving the middle section "adventurous" within basecamp. Another similar situation occurs when downloading a gpx from a friend, where you need to go and add beginning and end points + the via points or the route will recalculate on the GPS and lose all the fun roads.

THANK YOU for these tutorials! BUT! I have a Garmin Nuvi 2595, and it must be one of those "older" models where waypoints, shaping points (alert), and shaping points (won't alert) all act the same - you must cross through each of those before continuing. So how do I identify which Garmin models allow skipping (won't alert) shaping points?

Hi Tim, when manually making a route using the pen which you get when clicking new route, after I have dragged the map using the hand symbol I cannot find the pen symbol again to carry on making my route and I have to start again. I have been getting round this by using the mouse wheel to zoom in and out and using the keyboard directional keys to move the map around. Hoping you can help? I am up to video 6 at the moment so maybe you have mentioned it in another video. kind regards Mike UK

so if I double click a waypoint that is already on the map, I get the option to add it to the route, if I double click on a waypoint I just made myself, that option is not available ... then I have to search for the waypoint I just made, and then select that and then I can choose to add it to the route ... before I can try that, the program crashes. I start again, and hey, that's amusing, every time I double click a waypoint now, it ads a copy of itself ...

You created waypoints called Dairy Queen and Someone’s Home but there you stopped. You didn’t say or do anything or show that the route had changed to ‘visit’ those places.
