[QUOTE="RiderJoe, post: 1455400, member: 93203"] So true! In addition to Ross’ suggestions, I would also recommend reviewing your planned route once more - zoomed in very closely on your computer before saving it and transferring it to your GPS. The reason for this is that when you pace your routing points while the map is zoomed out, it is easy to assume that the points have landed in the right places, which may not be completely true. For example, I made mistakes like dropping the point on the correct road, but it landed on the wrong lane of it. This resulted in the route exiting the freeway, and going back in the wrong direction unnecessarily just to reach the point I placed. Similar “side trips” can also occur when the point ends up next to the road and not on it. While it feels tedious to review the exact travel path while zoomed in, the time spent doing it will pale in comparison to the time wasted on your trip following and recovering from those “unplanned wrong turns”, - not to mention the aggravation that comes with them. This is true for any mapping software you use, not just Basecamp. [/QUOTE]
