Computer maps
On another recent forum topic "Vagabundos del mar travel buddies calendar" we got into a discussion about maps after I posted some screen shot photos of some maps. I think that was going more than a l...

Could you post a couple of places that you would like to route from/to?
Maybe I need to spend more time fooling around with BaseCamp.
We go all over Mexico so any route to anywhere. The trick is forcing the route to go the way we want and not the way the computer wants. The need for waypoints and also to be able to put Lat Lon on the waypoint to identify it.
Let's do from Guanajuato to Ajijic - but take 110 to Silao and then 45 to Irapuato - then 120D around Irapuato - 90 to Penjamo and La Piedad taking the bypasses around these towns - then 110 to Yurecuaro taking the Libramiento bypass - and 110 on to 15D - then over to Ocotlan by taking the exit from 15D north of Ocotlan going down Avenida Francisco Zarco - then across to 23 on 35 - 23 goes from Chapala to Guadalajara - when we get on 23 from 35 we have to go about 1/2 mile north to a RETORNO to head south to Chapala - a little before Chapala we take the Carretera Ajijic Chapala to bypass Chapala and go directly to Ajijic. This is something of a complex route but the computer may get some of it done correctly - curious to see how it works with a bunch of waypoints forcing the route - I can do it with S&T and Garmin but haven't tried BaseCamp. We have miles to make today so I won't have time to try any of this. We have done the above route many times in both directions and have given it to many other people. All good road and minimal tolls - probably the shortest route from A to B.
