#Garmin basecamp forum mac
If I can find a way to close this thread, I will do so. BaseCamp is a 3D mapping application that allows you to transfer Garmin Custom Maps, BirdsEye Imagery, waypoints, tracks, and routes between your Mac and Garmin device. That is not to say that something else would not be better, hence my question. BC seems to work well for what I need, as I have said. I never said that I had tried anything else that I found better. However, my original question, which I now regret posing, was to see if anyone here that is finding BC lacking has tried anything else that they find better. I went onto some of the websites and they look interesting. The list that I got includes the following:īefore you attack me for not looking into any of these, I'll admit up front that I have not. We seem to have gotten different results. However, you have no idea about whether I looked at the results I got. You are right, I have no idea what you use or know about, and I apologize for suggesting such a thing, and I have deleted my post. That bears further examination that I've never gotten around to doing.I did look at the results I got. I'd love to get into the Explore website to see what it offers, but a cursory look seemed to indicate that you need a device to get in. I would hazard a guess that it will be around for the life of the XT, at least. Garmin probably intends to continue supporting it to ensure that it remains in decent working order and will continue to offer it. None of this is of interest to me, but I can see where some would consider it a worthy addition. And, of course, if one is into the Adventurous Routing concept then it might be asked if the HISTORY® and Foursquare data could be imported to BaseCamp.
An example where I would be wrong would be if there is a significant and desirable difference between Curvy Roads and Adventurous Routing. Beyond providing enhanced functionality and added value for those devices, it doesn't generate income so spending development money on it is not a smart move in the accounting world.īaseCamp (and I would welcome correction) has about as much functionality in routing and route planning as those devices need, so it is pretty mature in that regard. Garmin must consider it a mature product that supports a set of devices. It would seem to me that it is true that Basecamp development is not going to go any further forward. I have not seen anything "new" on it hence the question! it would just be nice to know whats going on and where we stand I have seen it on Garmin forums and various other sites It allows for Geotagging of your photos if your GPS and Camera time are in sync with each other. Its similar to MapSource but more oriented towards outdoor enthusiasts. If there is so0mething new and substantive, please share a citation. Garmin has released a new mapping program called BaseCamp. BaseCamp has had a couple of revisions in the past year. The Explore website has never been expanded to include mainstream nav devices. "Boyd" at GPSFileDepot still tells people that BaseCamp has been discontinued, but I don't see it. Instead, the Explore announcement now says "Devices that are currently supported by BaseCamp will be continued to be supported in that application." That footnote has long since been removed. That website was/is for GPSMap66 and other select devices.Ī footnote on that announcement said that BaseCamp development was discontinued. More than a year ago Garmin, when BaseCamp was at version 4.6.2, announced the introduction of the Explore website.
