Hi - am having a bit of a problem understand & sending routes to my 62st and/or my understanding of the difference between routes & tracks is not as it should be.
I have always been under the impression that a route is something that one creates (e.g. in BaseCamp) which, when sent to the unit, is one that you would wish to follow with the unit giving instructions. On the other hand, however, a track is a series of breadcrumbs that the unit creates and saves as you follow the aforementioned route.
OK, having said all that, here is the problem that I am having. If I create a route in BaseCamp and send it to my 62st, after locating it on the unit followed by 'go' the shown route appears nothing like as it did in BaseCamp. In fact it is just a series of straight lines that jutt out from an undefineable shape. If, on the other hand, I create a track from the route in BaseCamp (or create a track right from the start) and send this to the 62st I can locate the track on the unit with once again the button 'Go' appearing underneath. With this method though I don't get any instructions but simply have to ensure that I keep the breadcrumb track that the unit creates on top of the track that I sent to the unit earlier.
So this is essentially where my problem/understanding of terms is confusing. By affording me the button 'Go' I am essentially now following a track whereas I was always under the impression that one could only follow a Route.
Any advice greatfully received. Thanks.
