Advance warning - Garmin numpty here……
I have a Nav 5 which has the same software (3.50 downloaded to both a couple of days ago) as Basecamp on my laptop. I have successfully created and run many routes in the UK with no problems over the past couple of years but, I've been creating routes in Basecamp for France and Spain recently and now I have a problem. In Basecamp all the routes look fine with no errant shaping points or mad, random loops but on the Nav 5 the routes are crazy. The routes are 3-6 times longer in distance and time and there are multiple "spurs" popping off apparently at random for what seems like no apparent reason plus there must be total route loop-backs I can't see because the route timings are huge eg a 1 hour 14 min route on Basecamp is almost 6 hours on the device.
What have I done - compared software on both - Yes ok, Checked all settings are the same on both - yes ok. Allowed toll roads, don't avoid "traffic". Deleted (ref Wapping's comment about thorough deletion, I have only deleted the routes by the method I know on screen) all France/Spain routes and re-loaded them. Unsurprisingly the same result.
This may be a simple problem for those who understand the system but it seems far from intuitive to me. Any help welcomed.
Thanks
Edit: As it now appears to not be a problem with BaseCamp, I have moved this post and thread into the Nav V sub-section. Richard
