Seems similar to City Navigator, but just different enough to be a little confusing and it seems to have lost some functionality.
I'm having trouble managing different routes.
Am I getting it wrong ?

Its confusing and difficult to use. Its not intuitive to use.
You are not alone.

I put alot of time into trying to get basecamp to work making custom routes with zero success.
Here's a link to a post from fellow SpyderLover lyonsden. It's #5 and I followed it and the routes I used on my road trip this summer couldn't have been better!:yes:

:shocked: I've just about given-up on trying to talk the thing into taking me where I want; HOW I want... :banghead:

Maybe the most user unfriendly thing I have ever used but then I haven't tried them all.

This one is a very lost cause.

I've successfully planned a few routes with it, but they weren't very complex. To me it works ok, but I agree with you all - not intuitive at all.

use a big old folding map with a view of the whole state I'm in. Really easy to plan a route...:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: sorry just have a regular garmin on a ram mount and use it only in town...:thumbup:
