Transferring Basecamp route to Garmin
I'm thinking of jumping back in with Garmin with the RV 890. I haven't used a Garmin since before the nuvi but had about 12 of them before that. The biggest thing I want to do with it is build long...

Basecamp will do it - but never in an intuitive way.
Create all your waypoints in BC - then select all the waypoints and right click them - then select "Create Route from selected waypoints".
After the Route is created, you can Right Click on it - then select "Open" and you will see a screen that allows you to organize the route, including layovers, etc.
I prefer to create a series of routes as opposed to one GIANT route - then download each route to the Garmin nuvi.
This allows one to make changes during the trip without having to manipulate a big list of waypoints. (I'm talking a 3 month cross country style trip.)
My trip planning process uses Google mymaps to start with to find waypoints. In Mymaps, I create a list and then export the list. Then with Basecamp I will import the google list of waypoints.
The above is just a sketch - not a "how to" which is beyond the scope of this media.
