I am working my way through these incredible videos, so much info here.
I have a question that I have yet to get answered in the videos. When I plan a route on Basecamp and then load it into the Nav V sometimes the Nav V recalculates the route that I just created. I'm thinking that if the Navigation setting that I used to create the route in Basecamp is not the same as the setting in the Nav V it recalculates. Makes sense to me but can someone confirm that for me. Sorry for the basic question.
Thanks in advance

Thank you.
I didn’t realize that I could turn the route preferences off. That makes total sense. [emoji106]

First of all, thanks for the Basecamp tutorials, they are really useful. I have found using the software itself is fairly straightforward and I have been able to plot several routes using the software and transfer them to my Garmin. Something I have noticed though, is that my Garmin doesn't always register when I am passing one of my designated waypoints. I'm always very careful to make sure I set the waypoint in the right direction (i.e. on the right side of the road) but when I ride, the Garmin doesn't always seems to register that I've crossed it. Then, as we all know, the Garmin will try to get us back to that waypoint by u-turns etc. SO, a couple of questions:
1. Has anyone else experienced the same issue?
2. Is this caused by something I'm doing or not doing when I plan the route?
3. Is there a way to override a waypoint and move on to the next one when on a ride? (Pulling off the road to do this of course)
TIA for any helps and tips.
I'm not sure about the Nav IV but the Nav V and VI you can skip the waypoint. There is a button that can be added to the screen or you can browse the options. https://support.garmin.com/en-CA/?faq=6bnVCGlxpF1EwtG0UZraC6
I mentioned in the K1600 closed thread that there was already a length thread on BaseCamp.

I'm going to move your post into that other thread, so that we can keep all the good stuff together!
Below is a link to my YouTube tutorials on using Garmin BaseCamp effectively. I got tired of trying to find answers to questions on BaseCamp that I could not find answers too. I created a series of 6 lessons. They are not professional quality, and a couple may be long, but I think you can learn a great deal on how to use Garmin BaseCamp. It has a steep learning curve, but I take a lot of the work and agony out of figuring it all out.
If you enjoy the video's, please "Like" and Click on the "Bell" to get notifications of future episodes. Also, if you have any questions, please let me know. I am happy to help.

Doesn’t look like they are currently available. Norwood (Don) hasn’t been around for a while. If anyone has contact with him, maybe pass this along.

Does anyone at the BMW MOA have his membership number and did he renew? I hope he is alright. He put an enormous amount of work into that tutorial which I have used in the past now and then, but I tend to forget many of the "how-to" procedures.
Currently looking into this.

gmapsupp.img is contains all the map data. "The Garmin .img format is what Garmin devices use to store the maps for its GPS units. The img files contain a header and many subfiles."
It is not corrupt, though a computer might think it is. The ".img" extension is also used for files that contain an exact copy (image) of a CD or DVD. Even in that context, the file might be considered corrupt if it is read by a different program from the the one that made the copy.
