Attention Geocachers - what would you want?

Former Member over 14 years ago

If BaseCamp offered a geocaching mode that customized the way BaseCamp works, what would you want it to do?

We need your feedback, but in order to get it in a way that allows us to better priorities features we need you to follow the following guidelines.
Please list two things you would want the mode to do or change. You may only list the 2 most important items, any more and the post will be deleted.

Also, please list 1 or 2 things that you currently like about the latest BaseCamp release so we know what should stay the same.

Like:
-export all geocache data in GPX (unlike Mapsource)
-custom symbols

Thumps up for these!

Like to see (not only in Geocaching mode ;) ) :
1.
A feature to globally change the appearance of waypoints (included geocaches). I would like an option in the "View" dropdown menu:
all waypoints >
-show symbol and geocaching name
-show symbol and waypoint name
-show symbol only
2.
One-click possibility to change the view to north up, _vertical_ from above (just like a paper map). Right now it always starts with the view slightly from the south (on northern hemisphere)

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback. It turns out that if you click the north arrow on the map it will snap to north. Cmd-enter does the same thing. The first solution is hidden, except in the help, the second is in the View menu.

Thanx azdrmn,
the north up is not the real problem, its the vertical from above when using 3d maps. As a workaround I stopped using 3d maps.
