Using Garmin Oregon 650 and Basecamp 4.4.7 on Windows 8 Pro
Problem -> I create a simple route with two points (bottom and top of a mountain). I set the profile to hiking or Mountaineering with "minimize ascent" as a criteria => the route doesn't change (it remain a straight line) I click "recalculate" => the route still doesn't change. Is there a way to get Basecamp to actually draw a route taking into account elevation? The map I'm using is from Garmin (Topo US 24K South West)
On the Oregon 650 I can create the same route (with the two same points) and the Oregon actually draws the route correctly (using the minimize ascent option).
Question -> Is the feature missing or am I doing something wrong?
Question -> If the feature is missing can you implement it? or at the very least allow the Oregon 650 to SAVE the routing so it can be used for route planning on the computer?
