![]() Basecamp only has one paid-for plan where you’re charged a one-off fee to access all features, whereas bills you on a per-user, per-month basis.The main differences between vs Basecamp are: That said, if you are looking for a simpler “calm work” solution, Basecamp works well. While I do have a favorite, the truth is there are specific use cases were each make sense!īottom Line Up Front Summary: These are both competent tools, but I much prefer the robust reporting, progress tracking and project automation found with plans here. I’ve literally been in the exact same place, trying to determine which team collaboration tool is best for our company. Thanks again for the input - I know it's a bit of a tiresome topic.If you are looking to make a decision between Basecamp and, you’ve come to the right place. I promise that I have read a bunch of this stuff before and tried to sort it out but it seems like everyone has their own 'works 100%' method. "If you go off course on a track, the GPS unit will redirect you back to the original path rather than recalculating a new one") you might as well stick with the track. I guess my understanding was that making a track into a route (assuming the roads are all available on your map) was 'preferred' because it allowed for some fancy Garmin tricks, but it sounds like if you have a known-good track that won't require recalculation (i.e. I sort of wish Garmin as a company was more opinionated instead of having ten potential ways to do things, but of course they are supporting multiple generations of devices and software. I consider myself reasonably versed with GPX and map usage, but the Garmin ecosystem is so broad and so much of the functionality is covered by multiple toolsets and workflows. Garmin had all of the tiny, unpaved, gravel back roads the MABDR used. I converted the entire MABDR to routes to use with the 550 and is worked perfectly. With that said, my ancient Zumo 550 doesn't support tracks. The recalculation doesn't always take you the path of the original track. This being /r/dualsport you have to be careful with converting tracks to routes. That works fairly well and keep the path on your desired roads. Most people that I know trace the route with the route planning tool. The search function for POIs and addresses is poor. Tracks are drawn overtop of the map and don't depend on the underlying map.īasecamp is good for planning routes, although it is a bit of pain in the ass to use. No turn by turn, no recalculation, follow the line. Routes depend on the roads being on the map. Routes can be calculated and recalculated based on various parameters, fastest, shortest, avoid Highways, etc. ![]() Routes and a collection of points, with turn by turn directions routing you to each new point. I think the first thing is make sure you understand the difference between routes and tracks. I have a lot of experience with Basecamp and the Zumo line, but less with Explore, although I have it too. So I guess my question at the end of the day is: am I losing anything in terms of routing by importing a GPX directly to Explore? Is there a compelling reason to go through Basecamp first, if all I'm doing is importing a track and creating a route from it? To further complicate the landscape, some YouTubers suggest going through Basecamp to create the route and THEN placing the route in Explore. Explore (being a web app) may be doing this in the background, but it doesn't seem to indicate that. when importing to Basecamp the track is processed into a route and checked against your available maps to determine a Garmin route from the original track). ![]() I can import GPX files to Explore just like Basecamp, but Explore doesn't seem to do the post-import route processing that occurs in Basecamp. ![]() It's certainly preferable for the sake of convenience versus uploading the route to each device individually. However the Explore web app syncs to my (multiple) devices wirelessly, appears in my Explore phone app, etc. Tutorials I watch on YouTube tend towards using Basecamp and transferring the route to a Garmin device via USB, which is all well and good for non-wifi devices. Normally I am taking an existing GPX or KML file and trying to get it onto the Garmin. So I just updated my 690 Enduro with a Garmin Zumo xt, and I'm a little unclear on whether I should be using Explore or Basecamp to plan routes from existing tracks.
