[QUOTE="Gadi, post: 1327944, member: 4490"] There are a certain percentage of roads in the Garmin database that are not accurate. You set your preferences to avoid unpaved roads create your route. Start to ride the route and it takes you onto an unpaved road if you care to ride it. I generally stop, mark the location and name the error on my GPS. When I return home I send an error report to Garmin (option in basecamp), showing the road and explanation. They always acknowledge and hopefully it is corrected in the next version of the mapset. Sometimes I compare the route and view it in Google Earth (also an option in Basecamp) this may give you a clue to any errors. As well did you know you can view the elevation profile of your ride and also do a virtual flyover of your entire route in 3D? You can set the height, the angle of attack and the speed. You can export your route as a KML file and send it to others who don’t have a GPS and they can view your route in Google Maps. It takes time to learn and absorb all this. It’s up to you if it is of interest to you and you want to put in the time. If not, find a pal who knows how and have them help or just follow them. Perhaps there should be a Basecamp weekend similiar to the tech weekends that some of you attend. [/QUOTE]
