I can't answer your question but I can say that I removed the base map from my 605 months ago. If it doesn't exist it can't be used and the base map on my 605 was practically useless anyway
Without a basemap, the 705 says 'error in route calculation' straight away. If I click on the Aussie bar next door (some 10 or 20 m away), it will calculate a route. Could the error be that an access=private highway=service on layer=-1 is closest to the point, and Garmin fails to choose another road? (Usually, the routing algorithm seems to want to go to the nearest road, and then the shortest distance from the road to the point.) I guess that the fix is to draw a cycleway across the highway=pedestrian area, in front of the shop. That should take care of this, and also allow better routing in the area. BTW, is there an easy way to remove the highways from the basemap? The coastline is somewhat useful. Without a basemap, one cannot see the tile borders when zooming out. Marko
