FAQ

Why do your run your website in English only and in which languages are services provided?

Traveling the roads less travel is founded by an open mind and lack of borders. As we want to share our information, insights and knowledge with everyone on the world we have decided to provide contents primary in English. In case of video we try to always provide German subtitles. Group and individual services can be conducted either in German or English language.

What is the reason that the rates you ask for feel high for privates persons?

Even providing services for a leisure hobby we have to calculate our rates same as any other professional business we have to pay for software licenses, equipment, taxes, health insurance and a lot more. Even tough we are lucky to provide hourly rates which are half compare to services in the field of information technology or one third beyond handcrafts.

Do you provide GPS software and devices support?

No we do not. First of all we are neither a software or hardware vendor or having any business relation with one of them. Therefore, we are always free to share frankly insight upon what works well, what does not and how to work around some issues.

I have sent you a message asking for help and you did not reply?

We are neither a support organisation or have the intention to provide this service.

What are the options to get help to solve my issues?

First of all handling, taking care and solving issues with software and devices is duty and responsibility of each vendor directly. What we can offer is to provide you help on your issues through our individual services offering. Please be aware that these cause costs on time and material basis.

Why do you focus on Windows Version of Garmin Software such as BaseCamp?

There are many reasons to do so. First of all the market share of Windows to Apple unveils a share of 80 % running Windows. But besides this pervasive market share of Windows based computer systems many very useful tools, additional maps and useful application are provided for Windows operating systems only.

Throughout this situation we have decided to focus our activities to windows based environments and clearly recommend Apple user either to make use of solution such as Parallels Desktop or have a separate hardware devices running Windows operation system.
