BaseCamp Trip Planner

3999048 15 days ago

Hi,

Can anybody explain step by step how to organize a multiday bikepacking trip using the Trip Planner feature? I received a gpx file with the track and uploaded in my Garmin 1050? I also connected the device to my computer (Windows) and I can see the track in the menu.

But when trying to add a new trip I am getting stuck at adding the Starting Point and Destination. I don`t know how to connect the track with the Trip and consequently to split the track into daily segments.

Thanks a lot for your help,

Dan

Never used it I'm afraid as could never get it to work correctly. I simply create routes/tracks for each day.

I have attempted to use Trip Planner for creating multi-day motorcycle trips however I found it unsuitable. I don't think it is suitable for you needs since it is designed to create a trip based on number of days, hours per day, starting point, and Destination. It is not designed to connect to any existing data. Also, Basecamp is a tool for creating and modifying routes. You are starting with a track so I think at a minimum you would need to create a route from the track and then try to make the modifications that you want.

If you are new to Basecamp, this will not be easy. Basecamp is not what I would call a difficult program to use, but it is not intuitive at all. I needed a number of tutorials to get the hang of it. This is where I started: https://www.newenglandriders.org/learn-basecamp/
