BaseCamp v2.1.2: Small Trails do not show up

Former Member over 15 years ago

Hello,

After updating to BaseCamp 2.1.2 on my Mac small trails and unpaved roads are no more visible in BaseCamp. I use the topographic map Topo Schweiz v2 (aka Swissmap).

I'm pretty shure that these trails where visible in previous versions of BaseCamp as I have some stored routes which still use the same trails if they are recalculated. Also new routes still use invisible trails when calculating the route.

Increasing the level of detail in the map does not reveal the trails.

Greetings, Beat

Very well stated.

In which sense? I only see, that small trails have been left behind...;)

The original post here was about Topo Suisse, in Switzerland take a look at how utterly awful the SwissTopo SwissMap product is. Written in a Macromedia toolkit for PPC it's a utter dog on Intel, it's been years and they've not got their act in gear enough to support the current hardware. Not that it's any better on Windows of course :mad:

A god example. Map scrolling in SwissTopo on my 1.25 GHz PowerBook G4 is much faster than in BaseCamp on a 2 GHz MacBook...

Until SwissTopo persuade Apple to re-release PowerPC macs and give one away free with each purchase that's not a lot of use to anyone.

There's an Adobe forum here : http://forums.adobe.com/ if you want to let them know it was a mistake not to release CS5 for PPC ;)

Found several other bugs in v2.1 and v3.0. Does someone has a Link to a previous 2.0 version?

Hi everybody,

so if I understand correctly, if I can't display my Topo Suisse correctly on my Intel Mac, it's due to the Intel chip and to the way Topo Suisse is done?

I used to have it (the v2) running perfectly on a G4, but when switching to an Intel-based MacBook Pro, problems started.. What puzzles me is that Basecamp displays it really wrong (when not crashing), although RoadTrip works fine. Last thing I haven't tried yet is to run Basecamp on VMWare/Windows, but frankly it's a nice regression... :(

Hi,

I finally found out why I had those rendering issues with Topo Suisse v2 after migrating from a G4 to an Intel laptops: the .plist file corresponding to Basecamp is migrated as well (with the characteristics of the former laptop), even if you reinstall Basecamp on the new machine. Solution is to just drop this file, which is located in ~/Library/Preferences (file com.garmin.BaseCamp.plist), along with the Basecamp folder located in ~/Library/Application Support/Garmin and the Base camp application itself if installed, and then to reinstall the app (currently in version 3.0.2).

It worked just fine after, everything runs smoothly, and this is MUCH faster than on my old G4. Yeepee. :)

Hope this will help someone..

PS : the only very last problem I have is with third-party maps of Nepal which are said to be locked in Basecamp although this is definitely not the case in Roadtrip. But this is another story.
