Measuring precise distance between waypoints along a route/track?

This question was asked 13yrs ago, without a good resolution. Is it possible in Basecamp to determine a precise measurement between waypoints -- not "as the crow flies" but rather the distance following a route / track (see example)? The measurement tool can give a general distance -- but if needing to analyze the distance between multiple waypoints along a route / track with accuracy, this method is both potentially time intensive and not "accurate". Any advice / guidance would be greatly appreciated - thank you for your patience as I am a new Basecamp user, and can't find the answer. I am using a Mac and don't have GIS software.

Yes, open the route properties dialogue box and one of the tabs allows you to do this, at least in Windows. Don't have a mac so can't check if it's the same.

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply SUSSAMB. The properties dialogue box on the Mac doesn't seem to have the tab option to isolate the distance b/w waypoints. The distance information between the points on the track, that's all there -- but not between the specific waypoints. Will persevere and try to figure this out –– if it can be done on a PC, there must be a Mac method. Of course, there is always a high probability I am looking in the wrong place, or doing something incorrectly and/or need to keep this in mind when marking waypoints in the field and when importing track points into basecamp. Thanks again for the reply!

You can do that in the elevation profile window !!

Thanks so much DRIES! That's very helpful for determining a near accurate distance of waypoint to waypoint -- MUCH appreciated. Than you for taking the time to post!

Yep, that's the tab I was referring to
