I was using BaseCamp when I was using Garmin for a Navi. I find BaseCamp in serious need of an update. :) Anyway I wanted a web based solution since I prefer to use Linux. I suppose I could use BaseCamp in a virtual machine. I wonder how much trouble BaseCamp would be in a VM? And my Android tablet would have no access. I discovered Furkot however I am not completely pleased with Furkot and support is sometimes non existent.
After importing from Furkot into OsmAnd I discovered there is not an actual GPX file format standard that everyone follows which is a headache. My last trip was a navigation nightmare when I discovered this. So I may replace Furkot although the only other routing service I found that has most of the features I want is Kurviger. I am hopeful that in the soon future importing waypoints into the OsmAnd Navigation List will work. That feature may even be in the OsmAnd beta 4.8 as I write this. I was looking for another Navi app however OsmAnd has most all of the bells and whistles I want so here I am. I was just thinking a universal GPX file translator between all of the GPX file formats (KML too?) would be a good idea that people may even pay money for. I suppose the files usually work unless you want routing? Routing appears to be the weak spot. I wish you all of the best in your BaseCamp to OsmAnd translator! Thank you again! At any moment, you have a choice, that leads you closer to God or further from God.
