Does anyone have working experience with Garmin BaseCamp and the Trailhead Series - Appalachian Trail maps?
I have most of my waypoints found and saved to my handheld device. I have every shelter from Springer Mountain to Hot Springs plus a bunch of other waypoints as well.
Now I am building my route(s). I am building a master route of all the waypoints from Springer Mountain to Hot Springs along the way first. Then I will break it down to day trip segment routes from my wake-up shelter to my go-to-sleep shelter that would include all the waypoints along that segment day trip route as well.
I am finding most of my routes are running mostly as the crow flies laser straight lines that are running from waypoint to waypoint. I am finding very few places along my master route where my route is magically snapping to the Appalachian Trail.
I wonder if the map I downloaded may have been a defective download.
I will try to include a picture a picture of that magical snap to the trail effect I was expecting to see 99% of the time. Most of the time my route lines are showing up as laser straight lines from waypoint to waypoint.

Does anyone else have this issue?
