Expert Review of route

@Guzt exactly that would be my advise
I see that you still use Basecamp from way back when. Keep up with up progressive planning of MRA and make the world a bit more beautifull -
1 last question.
What do you do when the tracklog and the route don't line up, but you want to KEEP the route. I can't move the Tracklog to match.
Will the Garmin follow my route or the tracklog?
This is the issue with GPS's and Motorcycles. If you want to take a more scenic route will the GPS let you?

Here is an example of what you are talking about. using @Guzt Workflow and using Tracklogs to compare your DESIRED route to the Tracklog I get these anomalies
Notice the gray line is the Tracklog the dark line is my preferred route of travel. Will these Tracklogs be the route the Zumo will take me?
Finally I have this anomaly with a Tracklog/Route comparison.
I've tried all kind of fixes like moving shaping points adding Via points, still get this odd occurrences. The Tracklog is Red, the route is black.

@Greenham Did you get those anomalys when switching between shortest en fastest?
That can only be done using the Car profile. In the bike profile you don't have that choise.
For planning I stricktly use the car profile.
I compare the prefered route (planned in the Here map) with the TomTom and OSM maps and make shure adding extra shaping points to the route when there's an anomaly. Then in the end when I'm satisfied and the 3 maps are alike I transfer the route to the XT, using the Drive app.
I don't use any avoid items in the planner and I dopn't use any in the XT. That way the route stays the same. Make sure that recalculating in your XT is OFF.
Why: although there's a lot of different opinions on this theme, if you deviate from the route, let's say there's roadworks going on and the route is blocked, and you have recalculate ON, the XT will break free from its harness, the route, and grab it's change to change your route. There's a 100% garantee that it will mess up your rouite.
If you want us to say something about the anomalys you've mentioned, share such a route here and make shure it's set to public.
have fun
