Hello,

If i buy the City Navigator North America NT map on the Garmin site, does the download option allow me to download to my computer and Gamrin Basecamp?

Thanks,

    The download option will install the map on your device or SD card, not on your computer. The possibility to install it on your computer is limited to updates for preinstalled City Navigator maps on devices.

    BaseCamp can however use the map on your device/SD card, as long as it is connected to your computer.

    Thanks for that but I'm running into a problem when creating long distance routes in Basecamp.  If i launch and run Basecamp on my computer and City Navigator NT resides on my device then Basecamp becomes unusable. I'm unable to view the map in high detail with a zoom that is reasonable for creating over the road routes. Basecamp reverts to low detail when zoomed out. Basecamp becomes extremely slow too. The map residing on the device becomes a huge choke point.

    What detail setting do you have set in BaseCamp? I'm confused though, you talked initially about buying the map but now you talk about it residing on your device?

    It is possible to Pan and Zoom while creating a Route.  The + and - keys will zoom.  Arrow keys on a keyboard will pan.  The Pencil cursor in BaseCamp will change to a large Arrow when placed near a side on corner.  Mouse Clicks/Touchpad taps will pan in the direction of the Arrow.  It may be possible to zoom via the touchpad or a mouse with more than left/right buttons.  For example, two finger movements on a touchpad.

    Edit:  I keep the Detail Level at Medium to prevent the application from trying to render too much detail at higher zoom levels.  I increase the zoom to gain detail or increase the detail level only when placing points.
