BaseCamp Upload to BMW Navigator lV (Zumo 660) Route Corruption Problem

Former Member over 10 years ago

My BaseCamp and other software/firmware is fully up to date.
If I create a Route in BaseCamp I don't have a problem. Mileage, time etc all correct
It all goes wrong when I upload it to my device which is a BMW Navigator IV motorcycle unit but essentially it's a Zumo 660
Examining the BaseCamp created route on the device it is totally corrupt. Miles, time etc completely different and Waypoints are created on the device that
do not exist in the same place on BaseCamp.
The uploaded Route then just connects Straight Line routes between these Waypoints
This problem is driving me mad. I've tried everything I know to cure it for days now but nomatter what I try I get the same result. Very frustrating
I hope it's something silly that I'm overlooking. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Yes. Latest maps being used - CN Europe NT 2015.20 - same on both Zumo device and BaseCamp.
On a route well known to me ( for testing purposes ) the stats are spot-on in BaseCamp. When looking at the uploaded route on the Zumo device it's "all over the place".
Wrong mileage, wrong time and caused by Straight Line Routes (ie not following roads ) being linked back and forth between WayPoints, which themselves are not in the same place as
the WayPoints on BaseCamp. For example, in the middle of fields. Everything is set up correctly for Motorcycle and excludes the obvious such as Tracks. It's bizarre
Thanks for your response. Any idea on when we may get an update from Garmin to fix this?

In another thread I was complaining about this issue, and received this extremely helpful pointer:

Switch of the settings in the Device Transfer settings, found in the preferences of BaseCamp (Mac and Windows). This is a common problem with the new BC versions! Map names are now different between Device and computer, very handy, but not in combination with these options (especially the 3th one).

The new functionality is added to v4.3.4 BaseCamp, switched on by default, one line in a release note and we are on our own. Perfect to addition from Garmin for there customers, but the communication about it is piep piep pieper the piep worthless :cool: Switched off by default was a much better choice.

Turning the new preference off fixed the issue for me.
