Routes loaded from BaseCamp to GpsMaps64s cant be edit or reverse at GPS

Former Member over 6 years ago

When selecting, at GPS, a route created in the GPS itself appears 6 options (edit, view, elevation, change, reverse, delete). When I select a route created in BaseCamp only 4 options appear.
The "Edit Route" and "Reverse Route" options do not appear.
This behavior prevents route adjustments on the field (for previously planned routes on computer).

Does anyone have solved this problem?

GPS: GpsMaps64s

BaseCamp: 4.6.2 (same results with 4.7.0)

I get reverse route on my Etrex20 and Montana with routes sent from BC, never noticed whether Edit is there or not as never do so. How are you creating the routes in BC?

Edit: just checked and I have Edit too

I'm seeing the same with my recently bought (and updated) Etrex35.

If I create a route directly on the Etrex, to go between (let's say) Home & Work, then I can select 'Reverse route' to navigate back from Work to Home.
If, however, I create a route in Basecamp (Can't tell you the version, ATM, as I'm not at home) between Home & Work, then send it to the Etrex, this new route doesn't have the 'Reverse route' option.

I'm new to this, so may be missing something, but I've kind of resigned myself to creating separate routes in Basecamp, for 'there' & 'back' and sending both of them to the Etrex (Seems wasteful of storage, and a bit disappointing)

I wonder if this has something to do with the activity profile? As I use mine for walking routes they are always created with Direct activity selected in BaseCamp, and my Etrex allows reversal and editing of the route.

Ah - will investigate that possibility. Will this affect the ability to use profiles correctly, though?

Don't know as it depends what you mean by correctly? I use profiles but generally simply to select a different map.
