I've been a Mapsource user for many years. Unfortunately, my computer crashed (RIP) and I had to download (ugh) Basecamp instead.
I've watched the tutorials. I've played around with the features. IMHO, this is a step backwards from Mapsource.
I've planned many long routes in Mapsource, allowing me to upload them to my device, mount it on my motorcycle, and take the back roads to my destination, usually with several 'detours' included to see that odd roadside attraction. Punch in my waypoints, use the Routing tool to click from one to the next. I could switch to the Hand tool and drag the map along to my next waypoint while keeping the detail level high. Click back on the Route tool and continue.
In Basecamp, it seems no matter what I try, once the Route tool is chosen, you have one option - complete your route in one step, which means zooming out to see every waypoint from start to finish. If I click the Hand tool to move the map or zoom in, it saves that tiny section as a route.
I have to be doing something wrong, because if that's the way it's supposed to work, it's the least user-friendly program I've ever seen. Can anyone point me in the right direction (no pun intended), or direct me to some *good* instructional videos? (The Garmin videos show toolbars that aren't even on my version, which is the latest one.)
