How to make the most out of the GPS files provided within the NI1600.

I’ve put together a YouTube video showing a working session within Basecamp for the NI1600’s planned route, 2022.

I recommend you watch this in 4K resolution and in full-screen. This walk through is a total of ~55mins long.

Key portions of this video:

1. Intro: 00:00 – 01:08
2. Starting basecamp with a new Database: 01:08 – 02:10
3. Downloading NZDR content: 02:10 – 02:30

4. Importing the files: 02:30 – 03:19
5. Sorting out a route in basecamp: 03:19 – 19:55
6. Creating the Tracks (x3): 19:55 – 27:43
7. Adding in Fuel Stops: 27:43 – 42:25
8. Grabbing waypoint names from Route into Excel (for a tank bag route sheet): 42:25 – 48:10
9. Exporting content for your GPS: 48:10 – 55:51

This assumes you have access to BaseCamp (Windows version strongly preferred), with NZ Maps.
