I have been using MyRoute-app as recommended by others on here instead of using basecamp.
The free version works very well, it is just like using Googlemaps but you have the facility to send your routes direct to your sat nav via USB connected to a laptop/computer.
On extended tours it would be ideal to change routes at the hotel.
The only computer I have is high spec macbook which I do not want to take with me when touring.
After a bit of research I thought I would share an idea....
I have a 10inch Lenovo android tablet. I have installed MyRoute-app via lay store. All good!
I have ordered one of these from fleabay https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/audio-and-headphones/audio/mp3-accessories/logik-lotg15-micro-usb-to-usb-adapter-0-12-m-10118052-pdt.html?store=2319&cmpid=ppc~gg~(PLA)-LOCAL~~Exact&istCompanyId=bec25c7e-cbcd-460d-81d5-a25372d2e3d7&istItemId=aiprirtti&istBid=t&srcid=198&cmpid=ppc~gg~1022%20(PLA)%20PC%20COMPONENTS%20-%20Adaptive~1022%20(PLA)%20PC%20COMPONENTS%20-%20Adaptive%20ad%20group~Exact&mctag=gg_goog_7904&kwid=GOOGLE&device=c&ds_kids=92700027233284265&PLA=1&tgtid=1022%20(PLA)%20PC%20COMPONENTS%20-%20Adaptive&gclid=EAIaIQobChMImvG3mOmR2AIVSbvtCh0w0AlREAQYBSABEgKJLfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
The idea is to connect this to the android tablet creating a USB connection. I then connect the NAV 5 to the the newly created usb connector on the android tablet.
I am hoping that the Android device will see the nav 5 as a storage device and allow me to save the gpx file made by MyRoute-app directly onto the Nav 5
Will let you know in a few days.
