[BaseCamp] [LDRider] WOTL Needed for BaseCamp

[Carroll]

Greg, I think I understand what you are saying and how you are interpolating the option.  Your view is much different then how I was looking at it and your way might be more accurate than mine.  The thing I want to do is build a route in BaseCamp and transfer it to a GPS and the GPS display the route exactly how it was in the computer, this is assuming the map set in the computer and the GPS are the same version.  If I build a route in the computer/BaseCamp and confirm it follows all the roads I am interested in, when I transfer it to a GPS, I don't want the GPS to re-route on roads different than the computer/BaseCamp route.  I don't think the option I quoted will do this. I have wrote a routine I use when transferring routes to my GPS that seem to make the GPS route follow the route from the computer.  I mentioned the option I quote because I didn't understand it.
Thanks for your viewpoint.
