RE: Planning trips with Navigator - 3

I used Kurviger.de quite a lot of times to plan my trips, and liked the results.
If you own an Android phone, you could also install their app. Never tried it myself, though.

Just returned from a 5-d spring trip to some meetings in New Orleans.

I finally have the REVER/Butler maps thing down - I download the .GPX file as tracks into the additional memory card on my NAV V, import the tracks and then convert to trip AFTER turning off the recalculate option.

Discussing with the REVER folks - they already have a website up with a button for the BMW navigators - it's simply not working yet. Turning website routes into turn-by-turn directions on our NAV Vs and VIs should be the click of the button within a few weeks (or months).

REVER can be used for mapping worldwide, but the Butler map overlay onto the REVER maps is great for finding the twisty scenic roads. I understand they now have a Butler overlay for the German maps as well. The Butler map overlay is available a subscription option or comes free if you buy the RLink GPS device.

My original Scorpio/Aritronix GPS/tracker/alarm is now a REVER RLink, so I've been part of this branch of the evolution in mapping/GPS/security for the past 3 y.

And yes - there's a phone app for that as well....

Serious kudos to anyone who can make sense of Basecamp! I consider myself reasonably computer-literate but that beast is the most incomprehensible piece of software I've ever tried to use...

I use Google maps to plan my trips and once you have created the map in Google maps I export that file as a KML/KMZ file that I then upload to http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/convert_input which then convert that file to GPX format which can be transfered to the nav VI. I know it sound complicated but I find it soo much easier to plan my trips in Google Maps and then use this converter to generate the GPX format, which actually is the easiest step and only take a few seconds. Good luck
