Discovered somthing new re: Basecamp -> Device

Unread post by Montana Mike »

Discovered something new today - I think. I created a Basecamp trip using the Motorcycle profile and downloaded it to my Montana 650. After reaching one of my waypoints, the Montana started sending me back the way I came instead of on to the next waypoint. The next waypoint in question included a ferry trip which Basecamp was set to allow, but, after investigating, the Montana had ferries set as an avoidance. I guess it makes sense, but one might think a particular trip downloaded from Basecamp would override any setting on the device for that trip. I guess it's not that smart.

This difference in avoidance configuration may explain some other goofiness I've observed in previous Basecamp planned trips.
