Rally Book to GPS

RIDE CRAFT:  The collection of knowledge, skills and abilities used by long distance motorcycle riders to maintain a consistent ride pace, manage risk and achieve navigational objectives.


I have prepared a series of short videos to show how I use Garmin BaseCamp to process the bonus listing information into a format that helps prepare a leg route. These are basic techniques. You might not discover the "winning" route using these basic techniques, but with a little practice, select a route that you can ride and meets your reasonable point goals. 

 The YouTube videos were done in HD and best viewed full screen. The companion videos below each overview video provide more detail or show using the Rally Leg Plan Tool to enhance the process of selecting a route that meets or exceeds one's goals and ride pace capabilities. 

 1. Ez-Pz Waypoint Enhancement - 11:50 An overview of the process to enhance the bonus listing information directly into BaseCamp. 
    - Ez-Pz 76 Waypoints - 23:23 The full 20 minute video for all 76 waypoints of the IBR13 Leg 2
