Basecamp won't change to motorcycling from hiking.

I change it in the options menu but it reverts back to hiking. Also, when I try to create a route it sends me off the main roads and not the most direct route. It goes out of it's way to makes sure I'm off the main road.

  • Then you're not changing it correctly. For a route already created you need to change it in the route properties, I suspect you're changing the default settings that applies to future routes you create. I don't understand your second point. BC will calculate a route based on the settings in the Activity profile you've selected and the map, it can't read your mind. If it doesn't go the way you'd like add additional points so that it does.
