Base Camp for Mac (support ending)

Question

hi folks 
 tried to reply to the other thread but it won't let me 
 i'm getting the message about base camp too (apple silicon and all that) 
 i emailed Garmin and they said there are no plans to update base camp to make it compatible 
 i use it all the time with my eTrex Touch. 
 what are the alternatives? 
 Garmin have pointed me to Explore and Connect. will these be any good for plotting routes? that what I mainly do 
 are there any 3rd party apps that will allow you to connect and plot routes? 
 of course the easiest thing would be for Garmin to update the app, can't be that much in it, and there are still thousands of users of base camp i'm sure 
 thanks

I would like to try something other than Garmin, seems more and more you are forced to store things "in the cloud" and the assumption is that you have a way to get to "the cloud" no matter where you are at. I don't want or feel a need to pay for year round storage/access for something that I use maybe four times a year if I'm optimistic

Hi. I am receiving a message stating that Basecamp will not work anymore im my M4 MAC. Do you intend to update the Basecamp version to make it compatible? 
 I am using it for such a long time that I wouldn`t like to rely another options. I spent too many time learning and studying Basecamp software. I trusted in Gamin size and consolidated company to feel secure to invest my time. It would not be a fair decision from Garmin. 
 Please, advise me about the future to MAC-Garmin features.

Please GARMIN update Basecamp!! Phone based apps are just too small to read and to do any serious review of the routing, especially when looking at cross country trips, which is the majority of my efforts - minimum of 4 days, combination of interstate, us highways and local roads each trip. Sorry Garmin, I just can't see doing a 2000 to 4000 mile road trip on cell phone.
