Garmin BaseCamp. How to Create a Route from a Track for Mac

Very good, this is what i have been searching for, thank you very much.

Very well done tutorial. Thank you.

Excellent video instructions. I’ve watched lots of Basecamp videos and yours is the best so far. Question. Seems in the past that once I turned the waypoints to not announce I had problems finding those on the Garmin when I’m out riding. For example if I wanted to move to the next point on a route it wouldn’t be there for me to select. So I’m hesitant to change the points to not announce. Have you had this problem?

Very good, thank you.

Hello, very good video and well explained. One question with which you can maybe help. I have downloaded a GPX file and followed most of your steps. What I am missing is how to change the starting point of the route. In this specific example it is even passing before my door. But in other cases I want to add a small section to start from home and use my home as starting and ending point. Would be great if you can help me out here.

Eureka!!! I’ve just watched this for the first time and what a joy to see it crash when you try to convert the track to a route. I’ve had exactly this problem but Garmin support in the UK said to delete and reinstall Basecamp which I did but it still had some legacy files tucked away which even using a cleaning routing didn’t pick up. So what a breath of fresh air, thank you. I’ll watch again as I have to put some routes together for some training I’m doing. What is also really important is to make sure with regular deviations from the route, I can easily have it navigate back onto the route in a sensible way and continue on the route as though no digestion had taken place. I keep being told to use MyRouteApp as its much easier but Basecamp is native to the BMW NAV 6 so I’d rather learn to use it properly. Thanks again. An excellent video and much appreciated👍👍

Hi Joseph I'm a new subscriber to your channel, which is great. Question: When following your guidance of creating a route from a track I ALWAYS get a straight line from start to finish. Unlike your example where your route mirrors your track. What am I doing wrong????

Just to clarify if you do 8:21 of video choose recalculate it will not use the stored waypoints it will recalculate to final destination?

Hi and thanks for a great turtorial. I have One question. When fixing the creared route from a track (make the red similar to the green) you click and drag. That will not create any real waypoints? What if it recalculates in the navigator? Will those click and drag fixes be lost?

Excellent Tutorial Joseph - very much appreciated! You should geht a huge Bonus from GARMIN as they were never able (or willig?) to create something like this! What's funny, when I tried to create a Route from a track with activity Motorcycle it didn't crash, it simply didn't do the calculation! Maybe the track wasn't sufficiently complex to crash BC? The workaround of course works.

Hi, I could not get your tip to work properly. I converted a track to a route and used 20 via points. When I recalculated the route using Direct, Basecamp did not add the additional Via points. Any suggestions?

So, I have the same issue with my MacBook crashing - how do you work round it please?
