Hey guys,
I've been using Basecamp (with eTrex10) for a long time and right from the beginning I've had stability issues.
Starting on OSX 10.8 and (I think) BaseCamp 4.2.x (first version I was using), I get crashes about 19 times out of 20 when I either select a track and choose "View in Google Earth" or "Export selected data" (the two main functions I use Basecamp for).
Upgrading to 10.9.5 and Basecamp 4.4.7 (latest version), I still get the same behaviour. I just updated to Yosemite and again I still get the same behaviour. I've done all the obvious things, including completely trashing the app and all user data and preferences, reinstalling from scratch. I don't even need to restore my data - creating a quick track in BaseCamp after a vanilla install and selecting "View in Google Earth" will cause the same crash. Frustrating.
So I installed Basecamp 4.4.7 onto a different Yosemite machine, 10.10.3, restored my data into it, and the app does not crash on this machine, it performs as expected. That has 4GB of RAM, my main Macbook Pro (mid-2011) has 16GB.
The crashes are pretty much all the same, here's a crashlog except (I won't post the full thing here unless a dev specifically wants me to - I have been submitting crashlogs via CrashReporter):

I'd love to be able to use BaseCamp without frustration. It's been like this for years now.
Anything else I can do?
