In this video we look through the route planning process you should do before heading out into the hills to go walking.
For this instance, we use Garmin BaseCamp but the principle is exactly the same on whatever route planning software you are using such as OS maps, Memory Map etc.

Very good info if you want to plan ahead. Most of my rides I really don’t have any idea ahead of time where I might want to go so trying to figure out the best way to use my new Garmin Overlander to find my way around.

I like the idea of planning escape routes in advance 😊

I find this software very difficult to use. Great video, though.

What if an organiser's map has issues and am comforted to replace the Map via a self mimicked map via this method what would be an easy method to copy over an existing gpx

Thank you - a helpful video. Would you recommend this over using the GPS training route planner?

Great video! Doesn’t Basecamp have a specific activity that must be chosen for calculation reasons? Can you elaborate on that?
