Graph of plotted route won't display

Former Member over 11 years ago

How do I get the graph of the route I planned to come up? When I plan a route using Basecamp and then double click on the route, the window with the via point/directions/info etc comes up. The "graph route" link at the bottom is grayed out, and, of course, when I click it, nothing happens. How do I get the "graph" link active?

Thanks,

If I buy an OS map microSD card for GB will that contain elevation detail?

It depends... If the description says that it contains Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data, then you will get elevation profiles of routes and in BaseCamp created tracks.

I don't believe it does, but their new offering TOPO UK & Ireland Light, does contain DEM data. Here's what they say about it:

Garmin optimised routing with turn-by-turn navigation on the trail.

TOPO UK & Ireland Light map is the ideal companion for orienteering and reference during any outdoor or recreational activities throughout the UK and Ireland. This new Garmin optimised map includes routable road, trail and path networks, waterway detail, place names, military areas, natural features, land use areas, historical sites and many points of interest (POI). TOPO UK & Ireland Light is capable of turn-by-turn navigation on the entire road and trail network present in the map. The Garmin optimised routing function allows the creation of routes based on your selected activity type by automatically adjusting the route to suit the chosen activity.
•Garmin optimised routing calculates routes based on type of activity - Pedestrian, Hiking, Mountaineering, Tour Cycling, Cycling and Mountain Biking.
•Displays named hiking and bike trails.
•Shows land coverage, including forests, farmland, rivers, lakes, wetlands and urban areas.
•Includes contour lines and Digital Elevation Model (DEM).
•Detailed digital elevation model enables the display of accurate altitude profiles.
•Searchable map elements such as point of interest, mountains and lakes.
•Plan routes using this map in BaseCamp.

(Edit: Seems it's based on OSM mapping and ONLY available pre-loaded, and not separately, which is a shame as it seems like a pretty good product that would appeal to many)

Thanks again. I am beginning to understand the terminology which helps greatly.

Thanks for this. I bought my Etrex 30 last week but TOPO is not on that, as you say it is on their webpage now. Will ring the retailer to discuss. I have been told the GB card will contain the DEM so will double check after your comments.
