Runs extremely slow in Big Sur

kaptainkatsu over 4 years ago

Basecamp worked fine before I switched to the Big Sur Beta.

Now it runs extremely slow and I get the beach ball every time I click anything.

I have found a solution for me, MacBook Pro Late 2013: Select Menu "View" > "Show 3D Maps only" (translated from the German version, maybe the English version says something different). Then BaseCamp runs…

Exactly. Well said. The fact that Garmin is dead silent on this means they were probably thinking it would just work without having to touch a thing.. Not a good sign.

See "3D solution" below. HOWEVER, please Garmin, do not consider this a valid long time workaround. 3D works but I hate it. Poor graphics and it is a nuisance to compare what I see in BC and what I see…

FYI Basecamp 4.8.10 is available for download today. Notes just say "Various stability and bug fixes".

I just tried 4.8.10 and no improvement. Spinning beach ball and it locks up.

Garmin is slow with upgrade its software as Basecamp under Big Sur beta :)

Running 10.15.7 Catalina newest and latest. Running Basecamp 4.8.10. And it is so slow and such a shame as I have just bought a brand new Garmin XT. What's the alternative? Gaia maps are excellent and can export a GPX file...... If I create a route then download the GPX to an SD card...does anyone know if this will work? Tring to plan my mega trip!!!

I run windows 10 through bootcamp and basecamp works fine. I had to watch a youtube video on how to work it, and now it makes sense. Bootcamp is still hard to use, but makes routes on my Zumo XT.
