Is it an old Zumo or a new Zumo? My old Zumo isn't compatible with Basecamp, so I have to use Mapsource with it.
I am the odd one out here, I love basecamp. Not that difficult to use.
I always keep trips organized much like an iTunes playlist:

Next you add your locations to the playlist, can be a drop on the map or addresses you add using the search function in the top right. You click the little flag on the location and that adds to your list:

Now you make a new route and just drag and drop the locations from your list in the order you want to go and it does the routing. You can drag the route if you want to head over a certain way by simply clicking on the magenta line and dragging it where you want. Maybe I am just used to using it, but the principles seem simple to me. Make a New list for the trip, add the addresses and points I want to visit or just drive by on my trip. Drag and drop them in the order I want and let it route. After that if I can tweak the route manually by dragging the route or simply adding a few more routes to navigate around a city or in the direction I want.

The basic tools I use are the "hand" for panning around the map, the scroll on my mouse for zooming in and out and the flag for dropping on a point I want to add to my list. In settings you can define your presets for driving, motorcycle, etc. You can set avoidances there that work when you create a route.

Thanks.I will try this again.
I have planned an east coast trip using basecamp but after not using it for a couple years there's a learning curve. Definitely not user friendly.
Using Tyre with a Garmin, I have rarely had that problem and if so, it's usually just for a km or two. Regardless, any time a route is built and moved over to my GPS, I just do a quick preview of it to make sure its the way I intended it to be before I try it out on the road.I use Trye as well, but find I need to drop a lot of waypoints to keep my GPS from finding creative, and often gravel routes, between the waypoints. Is there something that I am doing wrong? My GPS is a TomTom Rider.
