Oh, and the route PREFERENCES must match up too. I have a 3597 which is very similar and what I have found is that as long as I have via points where needed to force the route in BC to my preferences it USUALLY does not change when loaded, but the above technique is more likely to work all the time. The map you use in BC and the map that is on the 2597 MUST BE IDENTICAL or this will not work and you will end up with a screwed up route. THEN CHANGE THE ROUTE PROPERTIES TO DIRECT!! Only then send it to the 2597 and let it re-calculate the route.
On a 300 mile trip it might need about half a dozen to force the route the way you want. Reposition or add any of these points (called Via Points) as needed until the magenta line does exactly what you want. Then zoom in and make SURE the magenta line is following the route you expect. On a routable map like CNNA, the best way to get and KEEP the route you want is to start at the beginning point and rather than just selecting the end point, make several intermediate points by left clicking the mouse just slightly AFTER any intersection that will define a turn onto the road you want. Without knowing precisely which map you are trying to route from Florida to North Carolina on it is hard to help. Each map that is available for the Garmins (lots!) affects how the algorithm to route from point A to Point B works, most of which is NOT under Garmin's control. Well, I would certainly agree that BC is not user friendly, but is not ALL Garmin's fault. If there is anyone who can guide me through this process I would be very grateful. Not sure how much more time I am willing to spend trying to figure this BaseCamp out. This task, so far, seems to be impossible. Then, when I have the route exactly to my liking, I want to be able to load it on my Garmin Nuvi 2597 LMT for safe keeping. That in itself can be frustrating, trying to get the blue line to move.
I have another way I prefer, so I would need to make adjustments to the original directions/map. Typically when I enter this info into Google Maps or MapQuest, it directs me into a direction I don't want to go (ie.
Like so many other maps, I want to be able to put in my starting point (address in Florida) and my ending point (address in N.C.). I didn't think it would be so difficult, but BaseCamp has me pulling my hair out. It's much easier to have heads up verbal directions instead of trying to read directions, while driving, line by line. What I want to do is create a route on BaseCamp (or another map), and load it on my Garmin. Frustrated and ready to return Garmin if I can't figure this out.help.
