Garmin (credit where credit due) have made lots of improvements over the years to Basecamp so RoadTrip is very definitely obsolete/redundant. RoadTrip is what the Mac version of Basecamp used to be called a *long* time ago. It could be that Garmin's weird and wonderful licensing is getting in the way: if you have problems email Garmin Support or ask a question on the Garmin Support Forums. I don't know why it appears in RoadTrip but not Basecamp but I'd suggest you try reinstalling the map. You have to use either Map Manager (I think, it might be MapInstall) to install the map on the computer so that it appears on Basecamp's 'Maps' menu. I'm new to Mac, can't get Base Camp to see my installed DVD city navigator maps, but Road Trip does see them. (It's quietest on the other hand, would have you up to the axles in sand!) CycleTravel did much better on this cross-country challenge, choosing only one section of dubious track. On a third test, CycleStreets included a muddy waste-of-time bridleway not only on its balanced but also its 'fastest' route. On this challenge only CycleStreets finds the hidden facility, taking the bike path underneath Rudmore Roundabout at the port, Which I reckon worth doing, as the junction is rather hostile. Unfortunately they are both fooled by some error in the OSM data into using a section of the Sussex Border path south of Liphok which is muddy, rocky, and generally not worth bothering with unless you're on a mountain-bike. On my second test route, to Portsmouth continental ferries, CycleTravel and CycleStreets balanced are near enough the same and both find a route I'd recommend - mostly. Both of them include sections of poor path, a flight of steps, and although they do include that riverside path in Guildford, they then miss out the naughty '(no) cycling permitted' bridge over the A3 (that your route quite miraculously finds!) and go all around the houses instead. Their 'balanced' and 'quietest' are very similar to my balanced route, but even more similar to one another (only differ by one short bit of extra very poor path on 'quiter) and neither of them are anythign like as close as your planner Richard. ![]() Or near enough: it uses a bit of bikepath that I don't use unless traffic's stationary on the more direct road, and misses a section of path by the river through Guildford that I DO use in spite of the poor surface because it cuts out a multilane gyratory system with irksome traffic lights.Ĭyclestreets 'fastest' route is plain suicidal and unlikely to be as fast as another main road that's more built-up but much flatter (and the way I go if I want to shave 5 minutes or visit the shops that way. It's the first that finds my actual route to work. My compliments on an excellent route planner.
