The map pane will fill up as you create routes.

Re: Dusted off the 660.

I 'think' if you have already downloaded BaseCamp, then you can download Mapsource from Garmin's website.

As already stated BaseCamp doesn't really like our 660s, whilst you may get by, it might throw up some weird routing...well it did with mine.

I use Mapsource exclusively with my 'Solid as a Rock' 660.

I would have no interest in a Garmin satnav the didn't work with Mapsource or BaseCamp.

Trying to create multiple routes on smart phone? No thanks.

Just an Idea, have you tried Mapsource?

That's what I did and it worked a treat.

Re: 2024.1 maps cannot be authenticated

I had similar issues with my Zumo 660, however I was able to download all the maps I wanted directly to the installed memory card via Mapinstall.

Express didn't recognise that a memory card was in the unit, telling me not enough memory.

It’s all OK now with 2024.1 loaded.

Re: BaseCamp 4.7.5 does not support XT2

It would piss me off big time if I bought a 'State of the Art' satnav, only to find I had to use a smart phone app to get the best from it.
