Garmin BaseCamp Tutorials for Beginners ONLY!

[Norwood]

I have created these Lessons for Beginners...the intend is to get someone over the learning curve... Best done by Lesson 1 and in order. These are unlisted YouTube videos.

If you are experienced user, they may be boring...but you may be able to pick up a tip or two..that is the sole intend.

The videos where made in conjunction with a seminar in Ohio for my MTF group...so hence the focal point was Berlin, Ohio and the Amish Country in that region...

Hey Don,

Many thank yous. I look forward to diving into the Basecamp learning curve again.

Now that you are comfortable working with Basecamp, do you like using it better than MapSourse or not?

[Norwood]

Much better than MapSource... the data is before you in BaseCamp, you can move your MapSource files into BaseCamp into Lists and then into Folders...to sort.

Hope this helps!

I will try to drop off on Friday at Ironhorse for you. I have to go to Maui on the 14th for work for three weeks. Guess I will see you at Eldridge. Fletcher said you were feeling better, hope it continues.

I had forgot about the tough duty that was calling... Maui for three weeks....Hope you get some days off.. zip down that road to Hana... plenty of pictures..

Drop it off at IH... hope to make it...if not Fletcher or Tony can pick it up for me..... for now.. I may not be able to ride...but got a plan for someone to carry me in my truck...

[Vance]

I know...a little off topic here...but....Greg as you head out of Kahului toward Hana you will pass this place http://www.mamasfishhouse.com/ right on the beach. EAT THERE! it is an awesome place in the evening for dinner and the food is outstanding! Also, be sure to turn off the road to Hana and head down to the village of Keanae. The banana bread is really good and you can eat it at the park down at the end of the road where the unbelievably blue waves crash on to the lava rock shore.Oh yeah and the sunrise on Haleakala...do that too!

Man...I am jealous now! You guys have fun and be sure to look around. We rented a jeep and put over 600 miles on it in three days!!

Updated the first page to add Lesson 15...Routing and common errors and how to avoid them... in BaseCamp.

Thanks Bob, doing better...getting my energy level back....still not able to ride...got an event in North Carolina this weekend that I hosted for some 10 years...got a friend that has offer to drive me, so we hauling the friend's bike with my truck and trailer... at least I can attend and see some friends and need to get out of the house for a while...

Producing he videos eat up some time...as long as I can focus... I do good but moving about...having issues with balance...but much better as each week passes.

[R90srider]

Welcome Don, that's great news. Im glad you are well enough to make a trip and be with friends. I say again, you out did your self with the BaseCamp tutorials.

[Norwood]

Three or four of my friends...more knowledgeable than I about Garmin BaseCamp have created a FORUM dedicated to Learn Garmin BaseCamp..

This is like minded motorcyclists wanting to learn more about Garmin BaseCamp in a discussion forum... The forum is FREE , a Delphi forum... I have created a user's video on Delphi Forums on the Welcome Page.. and READ the Welcome pages first.....

Here is the link... Learn Garmin BaseCamp

Thanks Don! I am going to check it out!

[Vance]

Don, I want to thank you again for all your hard work on these tutorials...they are awesome.Brother Rob is about to delve off into the world of Zumo and is a bit befuddled on how to get going with it. Shall we say a bit overwhelmed...
I strongly suggested he start right here...with Lesson 1! Although I have not been all the way through...I intend to do so!!

Thanks again! (Rob will thank you too!)
