Re: Garmin Basecamp Very Difficult to Use

I went for a bimble and found the shaping point routing better than waypoint. I deliberately went off route and it recalculated me back on route with no problems.
After all, that is what we want. Not to go back miles to the waypoint.
Example of this was on Thursdays Raz out to Wales with Simbo, him using a tom tom rider ...we were detoured due to a road closure, so we took a 2 mile detour, and end of that road it told him to go left ( back to the waypoint ) and on my nav6 told me to turn right to continue journey.
I will personally use shaping points ( don’t alert ) on all my routing.
