I managed to pull an activity plot off the 350 and into Tyre and noted that it created over 1000 waypoints for a 170 mile trip. I like that and don't seem to be able to find it in BaseCamp. TYRE uses Google Maps and i surmise therefore that this allows one to drag and drop a waypoint to "reshape" one's route. I'd like to see that feature in BaseCamp. It just seems to remove every other waypoint until it reaches the required number. TYRE has a feature that allows the user, with a couple of mouse clicks, to reduce the number of waypoints in a route to a number acceptable to the GPS (at least to the TomTom - doesn't seem to work with the 350). So this is kind of an enhancement request I suppose. I was hoping the Garmin would solve the problem by not choosing it's own route based on its algorithms but use the actual route shown on the screen when you create your trip this way. Expected some improvement with the pricey upgrade to Garmin. A little primitive, but simple, and it worked. I used TripMaster to track my ride routes and create new iteneraries from them. I always used TYRE to plan routes and knew that I had to put in a sufficient number of waypoints to make the TomTom follow the actual route I'd chosen. My TomTom Rider was stolen in NC so I bought the "latest and greatest" Garmin. I'm new here but a long time user of GPS on my bike. Via Points and route/trip import export problems:
