Hi all, hope someone an give me some advice. Basecamp isn't very intuitive but it seems quite powerful so am persevering.
I have been planning all my routes for a forthcoming trip to Spain, via ferry to Santander and then along the Pyrenees to the Costa Brava.
A couple of questions that I cannot find straightforward answers to. I have been planning my routes mainly using waypoints, placing them at regular intervals.
These waypoints then appear as favourites in my Nav V. Is there anyway to stop them appearing as favourites? They get a waypoint flag and a favourite indicator on the Nav V.
What is the difference between a waypoint and a shaping point? I can drag the route in Basecamp to make it go where I want and this creates a 'dotted' location in the route list, but it then appears as a different coloured flag (to the standard waypoint) on the Nav V.
It also appears that I can tell Basecamp not to announce the waypoint. If that is the case, this then stays as a flag in the Basecamp route list, but then appears as a dotted point on the list of via points on the Nav V.
So a 'dot' in Basecamp = a flag on the Nav V.
An unannounced flag in Basecamp = a dot on the Nav V.
Confusing, is there any way in which they are treated differently by the Nav V?
Also, any tips in matching routing profiles and routes between Basecamp and the Nav V? I am concerned about going off the chosen route on the actual road and it not rerouting as I want.
Many thanks
