If I use the DIRECT profile, the route will cross the water feature and continue on. ![]() Sometimes that back track will add many, many miles, sometimes along paved roads that I shouldn’t be on. BaseCamp does not know this, so, it routes me backwards from “22” along known roads/trails until it finally finds a way to get to “23”, the next waypoint. I know that I can cross the water feature and get to the known road (trail) on the other side. BaseCamp follows the waypoints I create on the roads or trails, BUT only those roads or trails that BaseCamp can “see.” Along my route, I create waypoint “22” at a particular spot where the road/trail ends at a water feature (stream, river, etc.) On the other side of the water feature I create waypoint “23” where there is another road/trail. ![]() Here’s my example….creating the route on the Topo map using the ATV profile. Backtracking the route to get to the next waypoint when BaseCamp can’t “see” a road or trail between two waypoints in every profile except DIRECT. Using BaseCamp Topo maps to create an off road route has an issue. This is a frustrating routing issue for me. ![]()
