Bimbling around northern France in the last few days I set up a few routes (loosely based on the latest 100 Virees book) on Basecamp which I then transferred to the Nav V from my laptop. One evening, I decided to reverse a couple of the routes and did so in Basecamp, then transferred these to the Nav V.
When I looked at the maps on the Nav V they were a right royal mess with every shaping point connected to every other and routes of a 150km had become several thousand km in length as a result. I am by now reasonably familiar with the foibles of the latest version of Basecamp and its associated behaviours with the Nav V but having checked all the obvious suspects (map versions, avoidances, activity types etc.), I was still baffled after a couple of hours of repeatedly trying and failing to get proper routes. My efforts during this time included removing the failed versions from the unit directly - that is using the unit's own screens and commands.
In the end, I decided to start with as clean a slate as possible and I deleted the GPX folder on the Nav V using my laptop. This was the answer, I could then just transfer the reversed routes from Basecamp to the Nav V normally and without any difficulty. I can only presume that somehow, files in the GPX folder had become corrupted and that removing the offending versions on the unit itself did nothing, or at any rate, not enough.
