Base Camp for planning trip

I am trying to learn Base Camp to create my routes so I can transfer to my Nuvi. This is a difficult program, but since the smart phone they have taken away all our easy routing tools.

What is a hub? I am trying to get several routes. I prefer to have a different route for each leg of the trip. Is a hub the same thing, or should I plan a separate trip for each leg?

  • I've never used a hub, I just use Waypoints and create routes. One route for each travel day. You don't have to do it that way, but it works well for me.

    It's a fairly simple program to use, but I don't like the fact that you lose roads when you zoom out. Makes it a hassle to plan out a route. I generally use Delorme Street Atlas to initially plan a route and then use Basecamp to upload it to the Nuvi.
