BaseCamp 4.2 beta is live

BaseCamp 4.2.0.2 introduces several new features and fixes some old issues. The Trip Planner, changeable libraries, significant improvement in find, and different profiles for legs of a route are some of the biggies. Note that several features are still a work in progress, but we wanted to go ahead and get feedback on the current state.

A complete list of features:
• Added Trip Planner (work-in-progress) (MacOS 10.7+ only)
• adds easy way to create trips
• create trips over several days
• round trip support
• printing trips
• add destinations along the route
• flying support (airport and flight look-up)
• time zone support
• Added initial support for different libraries which is patterned after iPhoto libraries. Feel free to try the feature out, but note that the next version will possibly break libraries created in this beta. This feature can be found under Preferences->Advanced->Workspaces
• Added support for different route profiles for different legs of a route
• Added support to have different folders and lists with the same name (as long as they have a different parent in the folder hierarchy)
• Added support for UK postal code search
• Added support for Yelp search (work-in-progress)
• Added support for named search (far away POIs should be found if it's an exact name match)
• Added support for category search (you can type "Hotels, Las Vegas, NV")
• Added quick search (hover over the map to invoke it)
• Added Irish Transverse Mercator grid
• Added support for displaying BirdsEye while in Basestation mode
• Added support for displaying and saving the track of the Basestation itself
• Added support for displaying the most recent update time for Basestation contacts
• Fixed issue with Garmap Southern Africa Topo & Rec 2012.3 - NT not being displayed BaseCamp

It can be downloaded from here

Edit: The second beta drop (BaseCamp 4.2.0.4) is now live. Use the above link to get it or go to https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?36289-BaseCamp-4-2-beta-is-live&p=179071#post179071 for more details. Note that 4.2.0.2 will not autoupdate to 4.2.0.4. You will need to manually update.

    I second this. It would also be very helpful to those of us that sometimes don't use a toolbar to have the activities drop-down included in the menu bar. Add the ability to assign hot keys for different activities and you'd have it nailed IMO.


    I'm not sure if we'd be able to get this done for the 4.2 release, but I will note it for a future release.

    Speaking of Hot-key's...

    Using the Cmd-K hot-key when you are in the Route-Info window and have a Via Point selected has no effect.

    Cheers,


    What is command-k supposed to do?

    Ahh, OK. Thanks. I'll see if I can fix that before the release.

    Trip Planner: Time - Milage display is misleading

    Please not the screen shot below... The Travel Time on each of the legs shown in Trip Planner is taken from the intermediate Via Point to the Destination Waypoint. But it is shown as the Travel Time - Milage for the Leg that goes from the Start to the Destination Waypoint: i.e, Townsley East to Chalet Restaurant. This condition happens when intermediate via points have an Arrival and Departure Time that are the same and the Via Point is not shown (shaping point). In that situation shouldn't the Travel Time be the total Travel Time for the Leg?

    Trip crashes BaseCamp

    I have been working on a Trip for the past week. Trip Planner has been working OK until this morning. I made a change to one segments time and Trip Planner crashed BC. Now, when I try to open Trip Planner with that Trip BC crashes. I am sharing my Library with my Windows computer using Dropbox. Win-BC (v4.2.0.4) can open the Trip in Trip Planner.

    If you'd like the Library I'd be happy to send you a link to it.

    P.S, I have tried reinstalling BC-beta to no avail.

    Cheers,

    EDIT: File sent...

    Is there any plan for "sharing" Trips between users [BaseCamp's] so that the Trip remains a Trip and not just a List with routes and waypoints?

    Anybody else seeing this on occasion? I'm running full screen so I'm not sure what triggers it, obviously something to do with Time Machine though.

    Haven't seen that one. But then I don't run Time Machine while I'm using apps.

    I run time machine and BC on three macs and have never seen the dialog.
