I haven't had any problem's importing/exporting GDB or GPX files from BC-MacBeta to BC-WinBeta to Mapsource and back.

It may be due to the corrupt file issue I was having as per the post previous. I haven't tried since the recovery. GPX file were working fine.

Edit:

No luck. MapSource will not open .gdb files created by my BaseCamp instal.

Well, I'd keep trying other processes but my BCbeta just crashed and I had to delete the AllData and FolderData files to get it to reopen. A Restore of my past working data did not go well...crashes every time I try to open/select a any Route or Track.

Only way to get the beta to run is to delete AllData/FolderData files and run the beta without any of my data. Bummer. Not much use to me until it will run with my data again. Really a drag when Restore doesn't work properly.

Good work!

BaseCamp 3.2.0.9 Beta runs fine for me under Mac OS X 10.6.7. It crashes when copying tracks to memory cards (at least by drag and drop) - already reported to [email][email protected][/email].

I encountered the same zoom level issue as killtimer but only once. I'm not completely sure that I didn't cause it myself though. Maybe it happens when scrolling on the touchpad while BaseCamp is loading?

Unfortunately, BaseCamp is still unable to preserve heart rate data when exporting tracks. I'm glad to see that importing works but as BaseCamp itself offers no fitness functionality, import is nearly useless without export.

BTW, I like that the Mac Community is finally getting some love by Garmin. I remember waiting for what felt like an eternity for Garmin to support the Forerunner 405 on Mac when I bought it back in 2008.

@azdrmn and @PAXTER1

Are you working on that problem?:

just installed the update - I am still experiencing the freeze-on-launch problem as with the previous .7 beta.

I have the same problem as posted and i have an Edge 800 and so the Beta would be handy.
