    Need Basecamp Tutorials

    I've watched a few tutorials on Garmin's Basecamp on Youtube. I couldn't find anything on Garmin's site. I find this program to be the least intuitive program I've ever used. Can anyone recommend some good tutorials to watch? Help aids to download, etc. Edit: I looked at the previous...

    Garmin Zumo 396 / BaseCamp Route plotting Issue

    So, I have my Garmin Zumo 396 set to "motorcycle" & "adventure" (supposed to promote off-highway riding), and I plot routes on Garmin's BaseCamp that specifically avoid highways. I download these routes to the Zumo, and all it wants to do is send me on the quickest route via highways! I...

    Best way to upload maps/trips to Garmin Navigator V?

    My apologies if this is covered topic, but I'm wondering if there is a good way to map out a trip on an iPhone or other smart device and easily upload it to the Navigator V? I've played around with Smart Link and it seems you can only send 1 destination at a time, as opposed to a multi-city...

    Back in 2012 I got a Garmin Nav IV with the purchase of my new 2012 RT. Used it a few times during the first year, then I realized that I already knew how to get to where I was asking it to lead me. Put it away and forgot about it until now. I'm planning a 2500 mile round trip next month and...

    Basecamp for Garmin

    So I downloaded this program but it does not have any streets. Do I have to buy the North America map in order to make routes in the US?
