"BaseCamp" is simplly a poorly designed product. Garmin is stuck in the 90s and soon will be struggling to survive once IOS 18.0 is out.

Great videos! Thank you very much!

I want to convert my Roadking into a Roadglide

thanks

Brilliant info. Thank You!

Fantastic information. You're definitely a wizard when it comes to all the ins and outs of BaseCamp. Have learnt so much form your videos. Excellent the way you did a short "reminder" review on all the ways to create a route at the end. 👍 Thanks' a million mate! Are you (or were) a schoolteacher?

Is it possible to download a GPX file that contains the tracks?

Took me a little while to work out, why there was no map detail option showing on my BaseCamp screen. (Windows11) Pretty easy to switch it on. View / Toolbars / Detail Level Very handy to know it's there. Thanks for the info!

Thanks, Tim, for another very informative video. About 6 months ago now, I bought my myself a Zumo XT2 for my Honda CB500X adventure bike. Main reason for purchasing the ZUMO XT2 is because around my neck of the woods, here in Nothern NSW Australia, is that the mobile network has a ton of "blackspots" and Google Maps quickly become very challenging or completely useless on a smart phone. Learning to use BaseCamp successfully is almost a must if you own a Garmin Zumo GPS Satnav device. I have only watched about half a dozen of your vids so far, but they look to be very informative. Thank You! (I have Subscribed)

😂 Expensive Garmin units and difficult. I use YaMap and a compass ❤

Hello Tim, I can't thank you enought for these tutorials. A work that Garmin should provide themselves. Your work pretty much covers all scenarios of use, which is great!

i will give it a go. yours Kevin from the UK

I appreciate your videos...👍🏼

Hello, Thank you for your videos Personally, I am not at all satisfied with my XT2 compared to my old ZUMO 660. Garmin software is unnecessarily complex to use and inconsistent (Explore, Tread, ...). None of them allows you to create a route on a PC and send it easily to the GPS. The positive points of the device are its large screen and its visibility in all circumstances as you pointed out. On the other hand, in terms of guidance, regardless of the application used to create your route in .gpx format, when imported into the XT2, it will modify your route and sometimes in a significant way even if it will always lead you to your destination. The second negative point is, when he has to recalculate a road, for example because of roadworks and a closed road, he will for a very long time, try to put you back where you left the planned route instead of creating an alternative route for you. In these recalculation cases, it also deletes the shaping points that you had placed for the rest of your route. The best thing to do is to stop the guidance and then resume it. I regret having broken my piggy bank for this device by succumbing to Garmin's marketing.

Tim i tried getting nthe parts list from one dealer all they said was waste of money just by a new bike.

Hello Tim, I am enjoying your tutourials and am getting more comfortable with it every day thanks to these tutourials. 1 question, and I may have missed it in the videos. I have a multiday trip that I am planning and 1/2 way thru one of the days I want to cross a river using a ferry. Basecamp does not recognize crossing the river and keeps sending me back down the river to cross on a bridge way down river. I have tried to split the route but it keeps doing the same thing. Can I start a new route on the same day? Or what is best to achieve a solution? Also departing the accom on this day the route goes in a direct line to the final destination, I click and drag to the roads I want to use, so no problem there......

I appreciate all your videos Tim, thank so much for your efforts in helping us understand this behemoth program! 😎

Way to nail this down so clearly - thank you!!

so have you actually bought and installed a knock off? what's your proof that these can damage your transmission. just wondering how you know they are bad units?

Got my API Key but had to enable a lot more APIs. to get Tyre working.

No disrespect intended but it looks like you made the same mistake that many others have made by purchasing more motorcycle than you are capable of handling. Be safe.

Since Garmin is not supporting Basecamp are you still using it for route planning? If not, what is your choice for route planning?

Could you not just buy the fairing harness for the road glide and just use that?

I couldn't for the life of me get Basecamp, that is until I watched all of your tutorial from start to finish, now it's dead easy. It's as you said, you just have to put the effort in to get the best out of it. I do wish they'd update the maps in Basecamp, as they do look very dated, in comparison to MyRouteApp

Thank you

Great help for a newbie, thank you!

I was able to obtain my API key watching this video, thx.

I'm really having major struggles with all of this..(stick with me here) I did a map update, then saw the section of this tutorial to say I should have downloaded the map to both GPS and computer, however when I went into Express and tried to do what your screen showed, all I see is "Maps are up to date" (or similar), with no option to send the newly update maps to my PC? Here's the clincher - I am doing a 5 week trip over about 10000km in about 3 weeks time, am working 70 hours per week in the leadup to going away, and I still have major bike prep to undertake. I think I'm gonna struggle getting my head around Basecamp (I'm hopeless at technology in general). It seems to be something that I would need hours and hours (like 20+) to even start to get this working and create my routes. Then what happens if I want to change course along the way? And when i start my ride, I won't have a computer with me at any stage, so anything I want to create on the fly just won't happen? My life has become immeasurably harder since I got my Zumo XT.. Rant over!!

Also you mentioned 14000 miles on the rear tire the some miles left. I’ve heard the TT are hard on rear tires, like around 8000 miles or so. Any truth to that?

Great Vid Tim. There’s a 13 TTSE for sale locally with about 45000 miles on it. Seems to be in great shape although I haven’t looked at it. Not familiar at all with them. Anything I should be looking for? Thank you.

Nice and clear explanations on the Basecamp program. Adding waypoints after each major intersection is a good trick, but causes issues when reversing a route. You just moved them to the other part of a devided route, but you should also move them to the other side of the intersection to avoid the double messages of "you arrived ..." and "turn ......". The inconvenience of these added waypoint is not a big issue for me as I don't like to drive the same route on my return drive.

Hey Tim, first and foremost, thank you for taking the time and putting all of this together. I’m in the beginning stages of converting my 21 tri guide ultra fairing to a road glide fairing. This is going to be my winter project. I’ve started sourcing all the big pieces. Looks like others have asked already if you are willing to share the list. I fear that once I get started, there’s gonna be something that I missed. Again, thank you for all your hard work.

Tim, I found this video, goes along with my prior question.....too bad that shaping points still have to be added to a route to force designed routing. It would have been amazing that a created route would "stick" as drawn. I have practiced locally and my DriveSmart 76 seems to "stick" without adding the additional shaping points.

Tim, your videos are incredibly helpful. A question for you. I think in this video or other one, you mentioned adding shaping points to a route after a turn to force the GPS to follow the drawn route. Does this defeat the purpose a bit? I thought that the once a custom route is created the GPS must follow the route as created (drawn)? Does Garmin's algorithm take over regardless?

video sound PERFECTLY normal at speed x1.25 XD (thanks you btw!)

Great videos Tim well done and thanks for sharing. One item though I didn't seem to find in your videos and this is about sending POI's to Garmin GPS' along with the route. When you are on your motobike navigating a route on your Garmin GPS, you'd like the POI's to display on screen. Despite many tutorials I've seen, I'm not able to find a way of getting the POI's embedded in the GPS' route and display on screen. Can you show how is this done? Many thanks. Pedro

Hi - do you put the way points on the ride just after a turn to keep the route going on the road you want it to go on?

How to know ampere can produce of the motorcycle to calculate the load that i want to put in it

How to compute 155 cc motorcycle i want put 90 watts MDL is it ok?

QUESTION: I've used multiple different apps, to create routes, I have then been placing them into a GPX file and transferring it to "basecamp." After I've done this I transfer it to my Garmin Zumo 595 that I have connected. However, I often find that Zumo will follow a different route, not created with REVER or another app. Why does this happen? If I create a route in Base Camp will it do the same thing or follow the route that I want it to follow?

One of the feature I like is to connect route, straite route and route again. This allow me to build routs thats goes where there is no road on the map (it can be a road in real life) :-)

Basecamp is a very good software, if the year is 2004. Otherwise, it beats me why anyone would deal with this crap.

Tim, love the videos. Does it matter if you use KML files or GPX files to import a map from Google maps etc. or any other file that you have downloaded??

I have the genuine reverse on my Road King,and love it

Trying to talk my friend into doing the same to his Ultra Limited, but it's a bunch of money and I don't think he's buying it!

Tks from Brasil!

I copied everything you did. when you click New Braunfels at 3:10 it goes down into your list on bottom left. It doesn't do that for me

The google interface has changed a little, but I was able to get an API Key that worked perfect in TYRE. There was a short waiting period for google to approve my original request. Overall excellent! Thanks, there is NO WAY I could have done it my self!

Excellent. Thank you.

Great video thanks very much 👍😃
