Garmin Basecamp
I have just bought a Garmin RV 760LMT an having a learning curve for me goes straight up. The tutorial online is not that easy to fallow. I have tried to fallow the youtube videos how to use BaseCamp....

You don't have to have the GPS plugged into your PC for Basecamp to work. But you do have to have an up-to-date map loaded on the computer for Basecamp to work.
I use Basecamp all the time to create routes to load on my GPS. But I use Street Atlas to plan my routes and then recreate them in Basecamp to upload to the GPS. The main issue I have with Basecamp is that the smaller roads disappear as you zoom out. That makes overall planning a real pain, and is why I use Street Atlas for initial planning.
Like someone mentioned double check your route after loading it on the GPS. Some of them are notorious for changing the route.
