BaseCamp 4.0 beta posted

BaseCamp 4.0 is here. We believe this beta to be reasonably stable, but it is a Beta, so there are definitely some quirks to be expected.

If you do find any bugs, crashes or have input of any kind, please let us know. You can respond to this forum post, create a new thread, use the error reporting functionality or use the “Send Feedback…” option within BaseCamp. If you find a bug, don’t just think “It’s Beta, it will be fixed”, please report it.

For Garmin Adventures BaseCamp will display surveys. Please take a second to fill it out let us know what you think. They are very short.

You can download the installer here.

A few words about your data
When you install 4.0.0.4, all your data from 3.3 (or earlier) will be copied. You can keep using 3.3 afterwards, 4.0 will not alter your 3.3 data (but 3.3 also cannot see any changes you make with 4.0).

Change list

This is the list of changes. There is a separate thread What’s new in BaseCamp 4.0 that gives some more explanations (please excuse the Windows screenshots until I get a chance to create a Mac version. The features are basically identical between the two platforms), and a Garmin Adventures thread that introduces that new feature (again please excuse the Windows screenshots).

Added support for Garmin Adventures.
Added support to search for adventures.
Added support for transferring adventures to devices.
Added support for authoring and publishing adventures.
Added chase camera adventure playback.
Other New Features
Added intersection search. If you add an '&' between two roads, it will find the intersection, e.g. 'Main & Elm'
Added support for BaseStation mode for Rinos and Astros. Firmware support coming soon.
Added better trip planning capabilities to a route (you can set arrival/departure/layover times for via-points ).
Added a context menu for the hand and selection tools.
Added a read-only 'Unlisted Data' list that contains all items that are in no other lists.
Added support for waypoint creation date, which will not be changed when updating the waypoint.
Added information in waypoint properties which routes that waypoint is a part of.
Added ability to create a route from a named trail.
Added support for temperature and pressure in track statistics and graphs.
Added support to delete waypoints that are included in a route.
Added ability to perform undos and redos on supported devices.
Added ability to create waypoint from find result on the map.
Added a photo viewer for Geotagged Photos.
Improvements
Improved display when many photos are at the same spot on the map.
Improved XML processing (so it should now be possible to import and export larger gpx files than previously).
Fixes
Fixed numerous issues with finding addresses.
Fixed area calculation for tracks.
Fixed issue where the Geocache symbol was not consistent with found status when importing or adding a geocache.

    v4.0.0.6

    Can't install the v4.0.0.6 beta. Download completes and then I get a popup window as though I had pressed the Quite button. If I press the Continue to update, it started all over again and I'm in a loop.

    Let me know when v4.0.0.7 is available.

    Cheers,

    Mine says that the disk image file is corrupted and will not install.

    Very interesting (not). The update download is loading directly to the Trash. The file is showing the correct size (69.1MB) but also shows as corrupted when I try to start it manually. This is repeatable - for me anyway.

    Maybe I'll try the manual download. . .

    As of v4.0.0.5 I'm getting a strange "Error Communicating with Device" condition - even though my Montana is not in USB Mode. It is in Garmin Spanner - just powering from the computer.



    Cheers,


    Getting the same error, and in addition I can't transfer routes, waypoints, or custom maps (all greyed out) Tracks and "Send maps" buttons are still selectable. After placing the Montana 600 in Serial mode, I get no error and send to the device normally.

    Running Mountain Lion, and 4.0.0.6

    PS: I am DR. Rock on ADV.
  • Installed v4.0.0.6 beta ok but it won't run correctly. I have the error logs if you want to see them. Uses an enormous amount of cpu time before it crashes. I would attach a pdf with the logs but it only allows 2 mb. which is useless.

    Hi Doc, LIPKOWIT noted that they would have the Montana issue fixed at release. Did you send an Adventure to your Montana? If so, delete the \Adventures folder on your Montana.

    Are you planning to post your Mobius trips on the Adventures website?

    v4.0.0.6

    I did manage to install v4.0.0.6 from the website download. Could not install it via the auto-update no matter what I tried.

    I still have the "disappearing" My Collection data field content when I create Adventures sometimes. I tried to do screen recordings of this but alas my poor little MacBook Air slows way down running the recording on this beta. That slow down seems to avoid the problem.

    Oh, and I've also just updated to Mountain Lion.

    Cheers,
