BaseCamp 4.7.0

Former Member over 6 years ago

The Apple Appstore just gave the update message for BaseCamp 4.7.0

What's new?
- Updated BaseCamp to conform to GDPR privacy requirements
- Improved MTP device support
- Removed online components of Garmin Adventure
- Removed Garmin Cloud Drive support
- Removed Garmin Connect find and upload
- Removed Picassa photo sharing
- Improved stability

For me the good news is: There still is a developer team working on BaseCamp.

kind regards,
Svenja Svendura

It works but is not as quick as a single right-click and it works only for waypoints, not routes or tracks. The option was also removed from the pull-down View menu. Why?

No idea, you'll need to ask Garmin. I'm passing on 4.7 :)

I used to love the Cloud service!! I hate that now it's gone... I used to work some routes in my laptop, then finish working on them at home (bigger screen, easier to work)... Now I can't do that!! Shame on you Garmin!

No more View in Google Earth...Now that's a REAL biggie for me. Planning off road tips, I relied HEAVILY upon that feature. What a shame...
I've used Garmin since having a GPS 12, and Mapsource and always swore allegiance to what a great product they had...not so much anymore. Pretty disappointed...

EDIT!! Guess what??!!
If you still have MapSource and copy/paste a track from BC, it has VIEW IN GOOGLE EARTH available and it works!! Fine example of "older is better..."

Older is certainly better with Basecamp. I have upgraded back to 4.6.3 and will use it until it no longer works under future versions of MacOS. I just hope that Garmin decides to bring back Google Earth view.

Please someone...how do I backout the latest update 4.70. I NEED the View option of using Google Earth. Any chance?

0 Former Member over 6 years ago

Just installed BC 4.7.0 a few days ago. Now when I print a route the labels are not printed anymore. Labels are still visible when sizing the print area, as soon as I start preview the labels don't show anymore and don't get printed. Searching around like mad to find the option to turn labels on for printing. Anybody an idea what I am missing?

Since the update I cannot install any maps on my 64s - the maps (open street maps and friends) are just about 50MB on the device after installing and the are empty on the device.

Unfortunately there is no download link for the old version on the web page - so I have pretty expensive brick at home by now...

I'm still seeing CLOUD data on my account on 470
