Autorouting for tracks?

[+borrie869]

hey i have just recently purchased a new mountain bike and have been playing around with creating routes in basecamp and mapsource. I was wondering is there anyway to get the autoroute feature to use the tracks from the topo maps, i can see quite clearly a bunch of back tracks in the bush lands on the maps which look to be fun riding but when if try to create a route from point a to point b it will avoid the tracks and plot for the roads. i have tried all the routing options and have it currently set for bicycle shortest distance with no avoidances. so is there anyway to get it to autoroute for these tracks or am i just going to have to plan my own path through these. I should explain the main reason for wanting the routing is I'm not solely mountain biking I'm wanting to get to geocaches while mountain biking all help much appreciated

What model GPS do you have? The newer Garmins can do track navigation.

Just choose Where to > Tracks, and then select the track you want to navigate.

I should add that the Oregon will automatically create a route from any waypoints along the track, and it will add waypoints for the start, end, low point and high point. But the route will follow the track, and give you accurate track distance when you look at distance to next and distance to destination. It is very cool.
