I can see that there are already plenty of posts under the GPS banner and so I hope I am not repeating a question that has already been asked but I wonder if anyone is able to help me with the following problem... I run my Etrex 20 on Garmin Basecamp with a GB map downloaded from VeloMap. So far, so good. Because I am have been using Map My Ride for a few years now, I tend to create future routes on it then stick them across to Basecamp as a gpx. Again, no problem - I can see the complete route appearing on the Basecamp map on my PC. However, when I then upload a rotue from Bc to the Etrex not all of it goes across! As a general rule, if I am trying to upload a 200km audax route it will appear to transfer fine but when I then look at the route on the device it just stops at 98/99km. Weirdly this does not always happen, as I am often able to successfully transfer 100+km routes that other people have created (in MMR and Bikely) on to the device. Just not my own, it would seem.
Is it the case that I have something in my MMR settings that is the problem and/or MMR is notoriously unreliable? Is there a better route planning site online? Or am I just being an A1 goon? I have a massive SD card in the device (although I guess that Basecamp is uploading the route to the internal memory) but, as it is, I always delete tracks from the current and archives folders on the device once I have got completed rides across to Strava so I can't believe that memory is an issue.
I am total luddite when it comes to technology and it is this sort of experience that keeps putting me off embracing the electronic age more fully! Any suggestions anyone could make to how I might sort this would be greatly received.
