Rever Route Planning

[Ray]

Last September purchased the Rever program when it was half price.
Played with it last fall and when I loaded a route to the GPS I thought I picked the Turn by Turn option instead of Tracks.
Yesterday when making some routes I noticed when I selected turn by turn I only got a straight line on the GPS.

Rever recommends using the Tracks option. When I use Tracks it seems to work.
I do not see the waypoint flags on the route but they are there.
I actually like not having all those plans on the route.
Anyone know if I have a bad point in the route will the Garmin skip to next waypoint option work?

I've never used Tracks before. I always thought that was a off road tool.
Can you think of any problems using tracks?
Rever suggests turning off auto recalculate.

Ray might be the only one here using Rever.

Then again, with changing platforms at both REVER and Garmin...., might be no one knows the answer outside the usually helpful nerds at REVER.

In the past, I was successful for a while at loading .gpx files directly from REVER to the memory card on my NAV5 as tracks, then pulling up from memory into a route - which worked as long as I didn't allow the re-calculation, which gives the straight line.

As you might have seen, REVER finally got the button operational (after 2 y of promise) for a BMW NAV-specific download of data to the Garmin.... I tried that last summer, but ended with a straight line. I never bothered to contact the REVER folks to see what gives, figuring they would hear from others and get the bugs out. Will try again in a few weeks.

Meanwhile, I cleaned out the Scorpio alarm/GPS system (that is now sold as REVER Ride) from under the rear seat, and bought a nice helmet that I will use for a while to see if I still "need" a sound system.
