my above guide if you can follow it should work fine, if not post back and i will try and explain.

OMG it bloody well worked. Thanks so much to you all for putting up with my turnipness. Will find this invaluable when we tour rather than trying to input the route directly to NAV V.

Would recommend anyone who has struggled with basecamp to try what Nutty said in the 1st thread and follow this with the advice from Lee D, Wapping and Decompressin

g, top chaps and if lived closer would buy you all a pint or two

For all its supposed Biker Friendly attributes, the MotoGoLoco website is remarkably unhelpful on 'How to do things'.

Given how easy it is to create a decent U-tube video, the MotoGoLoco bods might like to think about creating some easy to follow guides. Or at least a decent written explanation with screen shots of the various stages.

I think i will be sticking with the crappy old garmin way of doing things, and keep lugging that massive 9inch netbook around with me, although i should not need it as i will have created all my routes before i leave home, even though i have no idea where i am going to after the first stop and therefore will not need any form of internet or celular connection to plot a route to get me there as i will be able to to plan my 10 stop route going via the most bendy and obscure route possible to i dont know where on that easy to read massive screened garmin 660.
You see as i have said before there is no perfect system there are faults and down sides with them all, and all devices can fail and will at some point let you down.
So learn to use what you choose to use, this may even be a combination of tools, and if you run into problems and cant find a way around it ask the question because someone on here may have the answer.

Glad you got it sorted

well having spent a couple of minutes on the site it appears you can save a file in various formats and also save the web address of the map that you could then copy and paste to an email to yourself. hope this helps.

Would be good f you could copy the whole web address from the iPad but one cannot, unfortunately.

I never said never, they have their uses e.g. the last mile or two to the hotel in a strange town, they are great, but as far as plotting an entire effing holiday of twisty roads or motorways, they are shit.

Actually they are rather good for plotting an entire effing holiday or even just a normal holiday. I suspect what you mean is you don't like to have routes planned. That is your choice, it would be, after all, your effing holiday but that does not make a device for said plotting "shit" as you so colourfully put it. Others might like to plan route, some find it part of the fun. Doing so does demand a little effort to learn how to successfully achieve a sensible route. Since many do accomplish this one might conclude that those unable to do so lack either the inclination or the application need to master his simple task. Or it might be a deliberate choice but either way it would not make such folk "shit" either.

(One great feature is the ability to plan a route on my iPad while sat in front of the TV, save it, then upload to the Nav when back at my desk.) how do you upload it from the ipad to the nav.

Oh, ok, I don't have one, so haven't tried this method.

It still shits all over basecrap though.

You should learn to use your device properly before posting bollox!

and maybe ask how before saying you cant do this with that, because there will always be someone who does know better.

Yes it does. I use a Mac. It's web based, so will work on anything.

Sure, I'll have a try then. I have in a position laptop but it's to old and big to lug around thanks.
