[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1356220, member: 19880"] My principal beef is with the BaseCamp thing. Yes, Garmin is a ****** company and has deliberately designed their products with a very short effective life cycle. Planned obsolescence but they get away with it because there is no effective competition - neither TomTom nor Magellan have developed products really suitable for motorcycles. Maybe my Samsung S7 will be my new routing device but decent external routing software is still a problem. The Mapset Bloat makes things more difficult for many users but if the GPS has an external card slot there is a possible workaround. Making the POI editable prior to upload would be a preferable solution. (I don't have a problem using the external card but it is, in my opinion, an unnecessary complication and will render the unit useless for many users.) [/QUOTE]
