Using Basecamp, how does one drag a route back to the intended one that's gone down an unwanted path ? On Mapsource it was simple, you had a tool to do it.
Not sure that I fully understand the OP's initial post. But, in Basecamp, you just 'click and hold' on the section of the route that you wish to move. Then just drag it and release the mouse button when the cursor is over the road that you wish to force the route to
I was told that you can't download 2017 / 18 maps to Mapsource

But if he already knows how to use Mapsource, then there's no need to resort to Basecamp...No need to resort to Mapsource

Activate the hand tool, so that you can drag around the map. Activate the route (if not already the active one) by clicking on it. Move the hand icon onto the active route, then hold down the keyboard 'Alt' key whilst holding down the left mouse button. Drag the route and two black lines will appear, a la Mapsource. Drop the route by releasing the mouse. Note that the hand must be on the route when you Alt-left click.
If you use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out, and the hand to drag around the map on screen, plus the Alt-L click it really does become simple to change a route. No need to resort to Mapsource
Not so. I only use Basecamp on a PC and these instructions apply to Basecamp on any Windows PC

I usually fix routes by deleting points within the route properties. R-click on the route name (or double click it, although this alters the map scale to show the entire route), then Properties. Click on any point and a brown circle appears on the map to show the location of that point. Delete as necessary, let the route recalculate then drag n drop the revised route to the roads you want to take.
BTW Leedude03, I hope I didn't sound brusque. You've made several contributions that I've found useful and I guessed you'd made an error in this case.
