Two good suggestions, thanks.

I've used the normal Posi Locks a few times - they work really well. I've not come across the Posi Tite in the UK. I'd track them down if I needed a waterproof connection.

I'm due to host a seminar on satnavs on Tuesday for my local club, initially concentrating on Basecamp and the relatively ubiquitous XT. The room has a large wall-mounted TV, which will show ('cos I've tried it) my laptop screen simply by connecting the two with a long hdmi lead. Demonstrating Basec...

I split my XT power lead to instal a dashboard switch, so that I could switch the XT on and off independently of the ignition. Definitely just the two leads.

Put the route in a separate list, export that as a gpx then email it.

That's what I thought. I'm leading a seminar on satnavs for my local club in a couple of weeks, and just wanted to clarify how interchangeable the various devices and routing software are. The upshot is that using Garmin software to route TomTom devices is possible but expensive.

Does anyone know if you can purchase Garmin maps and use Basecamp to export .gpx files without owning a Gamin satnav?

Do either of you lock the mount to the bike as well?

I'd have simply "rubber-banded" to junctions.

As per John's detailed explanation. My shorter version - create route on Basecamp, export as gpx and run it through Tyre or MRA in case an extra shaping point or two is needed, then create track, export route and track to a gpx to be emailed to everyone.
