Hi Bosluis

It took rather long to notice that I'm not sitting around the campfire.....

Yeah, I'm still around, but have been rather busy the last couple of months.

Will see how things develop over the next few months.

Thanks for enquiring.

Hi Johan

I've never loaded RHD on my Montana, just my normal Custom Waypoints.

Why don't you use the same process as for the nuvi? You can't break anything by trying.

Joe, it seems like only a few of us are prepared to admit publicly that we are actually using BaseCamp.... :grin: I've heard quite a few people stating that BaseCamp is useless, but the secret is in your statement that "It just takes a while to find where all the good stuff is." Once you'v...

I've lately used the default values as is and found them to be more or less consistent with real life situations. My original question was raised to see if anyone has played around with those values. On the other forum Shorty and I once had a discussion about it and some pretty accurate values were...

I know that it will change drastically using those figures, but it won't be realistic.
You will need to drive at a very high speed to average 120 from Johannesburg down to Cape Town, for instance...

Thanks for the link, Joe, it will definitely of use. Any of you guys would care to comment on the default speeds within BaseCamp/MapSource? I've bumped up the Interstate Highways from 103 to 108 to check the effect on the long distance trip that starts tomorrow morning. Any ideas for more accurate ...

It is definitely growing into something bigger and better. I like the ability to select only one route in a *.gdb file and then load only that onto the unit. (When going on leave I always plan ahead as far as possible and create possible day trips at the destination. There are therefore quite a numb...
