i hate Basecamp. I also hate the fact that Garmin's own tutorials are not even close to current (Come on Garmin, quit treating us like 3 year-olds!) I much preferred the old MapSoruce, which did what I wanted and simply too--but my Nuvi only runs off a USB port--which MapSource can't even see!. Basecamp is some of the poorest software I've ever experienced...do you detect my hatred for it??????

Can anyone recommend other software that works better? All I need is the ability to do automotive routing. I would even pay for the privilege........



thanks.....
  • Which nuvi? All can be made to work with MapSource.

    But really BaseCamp is very simple although it works differently to MapSource and some struggle to make the transition. I haven't used MapSource for years and far prefer BaseCamp.

    I struggled with BC for a while. Now I use it for all my FINAL routes. I sometimes use MS to do an INITIAL planing of a trip, because I think I can do the planing quicker with MS than BC. I suggest you use the one that works best for you. The latest (?) maps 2016.20 work with MS as well as BC.
