Previously someone claimed that on mapsource you needed a routable basemap to get good inter-tile routing, but that on a GPS device you don't. As the basemap is not sent to the device that makes sense. On the other hand the device may already have a routable base map and so perhaps it uses that if it has one and is the source of the observation. I know that on my Legend Cx which does not have a UK base map I do not get very good routing across tiles. ..Steve _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
