Hi,

Personally I would always have both Basecamp and pike set to 'fastest route' and add more waypoints to my route. To avoid the stem getting cluttered I would keep (all) my routes on a USB stick and import and delete the route I wanted. it will keep your system clean and tidy and easier to manage (although I am guilty of being a little 'anal' about these things)

The more waypoints you select the less choice you give the system to calculate it in a different manner.

Good helpful thread!

Set your avoidance to avoid highways, tollroads and select scenic or twisty and then it should work

Thanks guys- all is well. Will try Sunday and see what happens.

Maybe I am late to the game.
But I have been a fan of Basecamp....a little bit of a learning curve...but once you understand how the program works it is the bomb!

And now, I just learned about their Cloud Data Sync which makes this program even more fantastic.
So now I can plan my trips on my PC in my office.....drag my trips to the my Cloud Data.

Since I travel with a Mac Notebook which has Basecamp installed on it and syncs to the my Cloud Data....all my trips are there!

But what I really like about it is while I'm traveling, if I want to add/modify a route, I open my notebook, at my hotel, in a restaurant or along the side of the road....cause it also works without internet access....export the trip to flash drive then import to infotainment and good to go.

Now if they only offered Basecamp in a web based thin-client....BAM!

Tried to make a route with google maps and convert it to GPX via GPS Visualizer.  Did not work out.  I ended up have to use the harley website, and even then my trip was split in two.

Not sure what is going on.

[bakon]

My only experience with Harley site exporting did not work well. I have great luck planning one there, poor luck saving it to their site at times. But when exported it made the waypoints a VIA POINT which didn't register to the infotainment system correct. Or to base camp very well either..I stated earlier I deleted it from Base Camp thinking it would be easier to remake it than to fix all of it.

I read earlier in the thread that someone removed all the SAVED locations.  HOW?  I have tried every button and link I can find and have not found anything to remove saved locations.  I imported a route and it came in several times and said the system memory was full.  Can't save any more and can't delete any saved.

[WTF Chuck]

Well the only way I have been able to delete stuff after the memory is full is to do a
factory reset.

see below #6

To enter the service menu:

1) Turn ignition off and wait 15 seconds
2) Press and hold power/mute button.  Turn ignition to accessory.
3) Continue to press power button for 2 seconds after warning screen is displayed.
4) Release power/mute button and accept warning

The service menu will display the following options:

1)  DTCS
2)  Audio  a) EG (serves no purpose)  b) Speaker test(s)
3)  Display  (test the LCD display briteness and color consistency)
4)  Key input   (test the faceplate hard keys, handlebar switches, and passenger controls)
4)  Component menus (XM and Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service)
     a)  Module version-displays the XM versions
     b)  Subscription info
     c)  Signal status
     d)  XM antenna state (unsupported, detected, not detected, short, and unknown)
     e)  Tone generation  (allows for generating left or right audio tone generated by the xm
          module)
     f)   Navigation setting (no diagnostic value)
     g)  GPS status (displays a graphical representation of GPS satellite position&signal strength)
     H)  Tuner-displays the current frequency, signal strength, RDS/RBDS info for each tuner.   
          If the signal is unavailabe or out of range, the display may show dashes instead of a   
          value.
     I)   Compass indicates current direction
5)  Version information (sub menus show navigation and database versions but offer no diagnostic
     help.
6)  Reset
     a)  Precalibration reset-restores factory settings-recommended when there are no problems or
          DTCS..
     b)  Post calibration save-Archives customer settings after post calibration reset
     c)  Post calibration reset-Resets radio default settings and restores customer data stored in
          post calibration save
     d)  Privacy reset-clears private data (phone pairing, phone #'s, presets, navi history)
7)  Touchscreen Calibration 6.5 only
     Calibrate the touchscreen by pressing the center of the displayed target.  The target moves
     to a new location on the screen after each press for a total of 3 presses.  Press accept
     for the calibration to update.

The reset worked, everything is gone      
Thanks !!!

[WTF Chuck]

Glad it worked for you.
If you want to delete stuff saved without the memory full go to saved items pick one then go to right side of screen click the center and you should see some options and one should be delete.
Good luck

OK, what am I doing wrong....  I loaded a Garmin Basecamp trip onto a thumb drive.  The trip only has about 5 waypoints.  When I plug the thumb drive into the USB port on the bike it displays "no playable media found". (or something to that effect).  When I plug the drive back into the computer it shows the .GPX file along with another file.  When I click the .GPX file, it opens basecamp and the route is there....  Also, when I drill down to the Nav menu/import files/USB device and click on USB device, it displays "no contact or Nav file found on device" (or something to that effect).  I'm sure its me, this is the first time I've tried to load a nav file onto the bike...
Thanks in advance!
Dave

[WTF Chuck]

What did you name the file and is it in the root directory.

[FLH91]

I just named it for the city we rode to today.  No idea on the "root directory"  Do you mean in Basecamp? or in the thumb drive?

In a computer file system that is organized as a hierarchy or tree, the root directory is the directory that includes all other directories.

In other words, do not put the .gpx file in a folder - just copy the file directly to the thumb drive.
