Identify Toll Roads in Basecamp (and other road attributes)

Former Member over 9 years ago

I'm trying to determine why basecamp is avoiding certain areas. I have my RV profile setup and I have "avoid toll roads" checked. Sometimes basecamp takes weird routes off the interstate and then back on (and other strange behavior). Obviously it won't tell you why it does what it does, but I'd like to be able to view the attributes of the road it is avoiding to see why it's avoiding it. Is there anyway to do this in basecamp?

FYI I have the newest version just updated (just installed it and updated it yesterday).

Also, does anybody know who garmin buys their base layer from (tomtom/teleatlas, navteq,etc...) or is it a homebrew solution??

thanks!

Garmin uses HERE

To see what's happening with toll roads I set two routes, one avoiding tolls, one not ... maybe that will help you.

Issue is they both avoid the same road (which is interstate). If I could see the attributes I could figure out if there is really an issue or if it's just a quirky routing algorithm.

Not sure where you drive but I don't find the maps inaccurate at all, some errors yes but every map is out of date pretty much the minute it's published. If you do find errors report them to HERE.
