[BaseCamp] Verify My Sanity (BC Feature Confirmation...)

[Ken Thompson]

 Rick - Oooh...naah, I'll pass.  I don't need a scary story at this time of day.  Perhaps best to say I'm trying to learn from others and their omissions....   :)
 Rebecca - This seems to be more of a function for planning purposes.  The fact the GPS doesn't use this data may not be a bad thing.  If your 10 minute planned stop turns into an 8 minute stop, you just happen to be 2 minutes ahead at this stage of the trip...


Again, thanks for the confirmation!

 And, conversely, at least on my RoadTech Zumo 660 and 665, the layover times that Basecamp *does* calculate *do not* carry over to the GPS unit. Very frustrating for me to have them flip and flop what they do and do not calculate for me.

Correct Basecamp does not compute time zones. Ask me how I found out...
