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.

    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.

    You can already upload tracks to Garmin Connect. You can find and download activities to BaseCamp. What do you mean by sync?

    v4.2 Trip Planner workflow

    The more I work with Trip Planner the more I find myself wanting to quickly lay out a route using the Route Create tool. I've also found that it would be convenient to be able to "import" an existing route to Trip Planner.

    In addition, when you start a trip in Trip Planner it would be very useful to be able to use the Waypoint tool to set the Start and Destination points on the map - rather than having to us the search function all of the time.

    Cheers,

    Thanks for your response azdrmn.

    I kown but is not clear! Upload doesn't work all the time, there is no progression bar, etc
    And there is double with myGarmin.

    However in first time, you could make the acces to GarminConnect from Bascamp like myGarmin, like a device.

    Another example, in my iPhone, BaseCamp iOS and GarminConnect iOS haven't have their data synced..

    Still hangs on my MAC with all the latest updates. Couldn't get it to do anything apart from view the nice video that tells me all things I should be able to do! Ref: 4.2.0.4

    I can load and open Basecamp but trying to use/view maps is so slow that it renders the app useless.

    I've noticed a dégradation in performance on my older MacBook air. IMO, this is something that needs to be closely monitored. I'd much rather have faster map manipulation/overall performance than Adventures or Trip Planner.

    I'm having the same issue but this is a beta so I've put up with it - to a point. Sometimes I just shut it down. By raising the issue here let's hope that the Dev Team will put some resource on the topic.

    Or they could reward their long term beta testers with a free hardware upgrade to the latest and greatest 'Air :D
