I'm on Basecamp 4.7.2 and it gives me very bizarre routing.

I think BaseCamp generally routes correctly but there are the odd instances where it doesn't , and it's always been like that. Like most I guess I plot my routes in BaseCamp, check they go where I want, send them to my device, view them on the device once loaded and then again in BaseCamp so I can check they are showing properly on the device.

If for some reason there are discrepancies I try to work out why, and if there is an issue report it to Garmin. In many years I can probably count on the fingers of one hand the number of map errors I've found. I recall one particular one in France where a dual carriageway had been built and a road crossing it had been blocked off, which I discovered as I was driving along it Very Happy

If you reread my original post on page 1, Basecamp recalculated all my previous overseas routes to take me around the countryside before arriving at the Tunnel. Some of these routes I have been using for some years without any problem.

That's strange because none of my French routes have done that and I've been using them for many years. Mind you I've stuck with 4.6.2.

Just tried the Heathfield to tunnel route and it routes as I'd expect via Ashford, maybe later BaseCamp versions are the issue?

If anyone wants to revert earlier versions are here https://www.gpsrchive.com/BaseCamp/index.htm

I've just tried the same route in MapSource and while it doesn't follow the same route as BaseCamp it doesn't produce anything crazy. Is everyone using the full EU map or a subset of it? Perhaps that is the issue?

Edit: Just checked using the Western Europe map, that works fine for me too.

I'm on Mapsource 6.16.3 using full City Navigator Europe NTU maps for 2021 and 2020.3.

Heathfield to Saumur goes all round the motorways, but Heathfield to Gournay-en-Bray (or to Abbeville) go directly via Ashford.

Heathfield to Bergerac goes a different way around the motorways.

Perhaps Mapsource's brain is too small for longer journeys.

They both used to work for much longer journeys so maybe it something in the maps.

Yet mine are working ok using the same maps. Have those of you with routing issues changed the default routing options in the car activity profile, or are you perhaps not using the car profile?

No, the routing profile (car) hasn't been touched. It was the first thing I checked.

I uninstalled Basecamp 4.7.2 and deleted everything (after making a backup!). I downloaded 4.6.2 which worked fine. I installed it and created a new waypoint in Angers. Created a route from Heathfield to Angers and....it went via the M23 etc. It must be something in the maps.
