Info on GPS devices (this section), and my Garmin devices
It jumps a little all over, but here's the key content: GPS devices are great for more common routes on better roads (speeds, distances, routes, etc.), but they are REALLY key for safety if you go remote into the backroads. Not only can you create, load or share potential routes, but you can also save a track of your journey, so (at the very least, as long as you watch your batteries) you'll always be able to retrace your steps if you have to turn back. They are perpetually changing, maps are not always correct, networks are a puzzle designed to extract timber, and one track often looks much like another.įor this reason, if you go remote into the backwoods, a GPS is a key navigation and safety device. So - I no longer recommend use of Basecamp.
Garmin is moving this function onto a new app called Explorer that lives in the Cloud, so it is accessible to devices from anywhere there is web access.

Basecamp is a free app from Garmin that I have been using to store, create and manage my library of GPS routes and waypoints. NOTE: I've taken the main link to this page down, but kept other links alive as there is still some useful info below. Be advised that the section on how I use Basecamp is now out of date (but I am too lazy to redo the section).
