    I've used basecamp many times before! I've learned some things I didn't know from this. Thanks.

    I have watched many videos on how to route on basecamp and most are hard to follow. I found this guy Jim Emmons is easy to understand for me. I guess its because we are both from Texas. I subscribed to his channel, he does not have many videos but the ones on basecamp are pretty good.

    I also use Google Maps on my cell phone and have it blue toothed to my Sena head set to hear the directions. Super simple and works very well. The only downside I've found is Google Maps running constantly sucks the life out of the phone's battery, so I just hook up to 12v to keep it running. I don't always use the app because I generally know where I'm going. Mainly use it in congested areas with heavy traffic.

    No help from Garmin support. I've used Garmin's devices since the first Street Pilot and would love to utilize BaseCamp. It seems like more and more some software
    developers are of the opinion 'use it the way we wrote it and be happy with all the new bells and whistles or forget about it'.
    I've given up and use my GPS as a moving map only. Google Maps to start then folded real paper maps and using your 'biological memory storage unit' is a lot more fun.
    And you don't have to save, press a button, drag a waypoint or hear 'Recalculating" if you want to change where you are headed.

    end of rant
    I had problems with mine also ,and garmin suport found mine was loaded to C drive .They sent me instructions on how to get it on F drive ,now i get my maps as they should be .

    I have found the Garmin technical support folks very helpful when I've run into BaseCamp problems that stump me or appear not to do what I want them to do.

    Is this link only for Windows?

    I've tried to access it in five different browsers on my iMac and each of them give me a "File Not Found" page.

    My son gave up on BaseCamp on his Mac but was not for failure to find the program. I've seen the Mace version once and it looked substantially different from my Windows version. Suggest you call Garmin and ask for help; that's what they pay the tech for.
