I think my problem was that the route looked fine on the bike as i set off, for whatever reason something changed as i was riding.
i did notice on the first day, i set off with the straight lines showing, as i was just going round the corner to my mates house i left it, thinking i wuld sort it there. By the time i got round the corner i looked down and it had snapped to the roads??
so i left it.
this has never been an issue before because like most people i just put my destination in and went directly.
this is the first time i wanted to ride a particular route, i decided not to blast all the way to North Scotland on motorways, i took the chance to take nicer forests routes etc.
I have fixed my basecamp problem, i reinstalled the maps to the PC and it seems to be lots quicker!
unless i did something else by accident while i was messing in the settings.
I did change the routing options in preferences, which now calculated routes better, i had highways and another one ticked that must have meant A roads (not sure the name, im at work at the moment on my work computer)
The main advantage i find when planning routes in MRA is the fact you can plan in google maps within the app, then once done change the trip to HERE maps before sending to the GPS.
i have to be honest, its not impossible to work with the HERE map such as the basecamp display it just means i have to open google on my 2nd monitor to find POI such as castles/monuments/fuel/campsites etc
Basecamp works great once you learn the shortcuts to move things
