Using Garmin Basecamp Help Please!

[firefighter4634]

First I apologize if this is not the correct place for this question. I am looking for someone that can help with making routes on Googlemaps and uploading them into basecamp for use on my new Garmin 396-LMT. I have watched several youtube videos and still can not figure this out! One video used a version of google maps that is no longer available called mapsengine.google.com. Any help would be greatly appreciated, also if there is a better place to post this question let me know.

Thanks everyone!

I always use my Garmin. A couple years back I had a new car (about 3 months old) and was traveling across southern Colorado (US-160) and soon as we crossed I-25 the GPS in the car lost its directions and it was like that until we got to Salina, KS on I-70. Got lost again in Indiana but my Garmin was with me all the way.

Thanks for the reply. I am new to basecamp and it seemed a bit overwhelming at first. I watched a few more how to videos the other night and I impressed myself and was able to make a few routes that worked!

Lost in Indyanner??? Lawdy! Just take i-65 north or south or I-70 east or west. This will prevent a boring death! Bwahaha :laugh:

I’d love to learn base camp but it & I must fall into the You can’t teach and old dog new tricks category. On the serious side I don’t hear very well and it seems the instructional videos that look like they are going to be informative are by someone with an accent. This just about leaves me out. I can only make out part of their words.
