Is it just me and my failing memory or did the route edit workflow change? I could have sworn that yesterday all I had to do was click/hold and then drag to edit, now I need to use the option key as well. I had really hoped the method for repositioning waypoints and via points would have been simplified to just a click/hold drag, rather than complicate the other functions just to be consistent. The reason this is important is that my left hand is usually busy with printed material, guide books, paper amps, notes etc. when I'm route planning. Being able to do all editing and most creation tasks with just the trackpad or mouse would be the ideal situation.
Good news everyone! The next version of BaseCamp will have a preference that allows you to move waypoints, or drag routes/tracks without holding option. This preference will need to be added manually to the BaseCamp preferences file. If you're interested, here's how you will be able to do it:
(Note, these steps should only be followed by advanced users!)
1. Run 'Terminal'
2. Enter the following command exactly as shown.
defaults write com.garmin.BaseCamp NoOptKeyToMoveUserDataKey -bool true
3. Run BaseCamp to verify that the drag behavior has changed.
Note: to revert BaseCamp to its previous state enter the same command as above, but change the 'true' to 'false'.
Any idea if it is possible to make a similar change in the Windows version?
