Create your route by using the Waypoints
Put your Route + the Waypoints inside a List in BaseCamp
Rigt Click the List and Send to Your Memory Card (Works better than sending to the unit.) (Long Story)
Once it's working right on the unit you can delete the waypoints.
Thank you Joe. However, I'm completely in the dark here. With what program do you make the list and is it made within Basecamp? I'm on a Apple Mac computer.

I will appreciate it if you can expand slightly on the procedure of making such a list.
Step outside, the graphics are amazing.

Right Click

My Collection in Basecamp
Press New List

A list is like a little container in Basecamp.

Did you try the Route I posted. ?

Thanks Joe. I did open your bicycle tour file. So this will then be the type of file that gets transferred to the Nuvi's SD card? I will try a route tomorrow doing it that way to see what cooks.

I exported the route to the SD card and it works great. Thanks again Joe.
