We've just released a new version of BaseCamp. You can download it at http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=4435. Updating from within the app will be available shortly.

  • Added support for downloading preview imagery for BirdsEye Select.
  • Added support for displaying DEM shading for some cycling map products.
  • Added support for track metadata from FIT files.
  • Improved entry of position coordinates on the Waypoint Properties dialog.
  • Improved performance of some track editing operations on the map.
  • Updated the Czech translation for 'road'.
  • Updated route avoidance settings to be more like PNDs.
  • Fixed BaseCamp incorrectly showing certain maps on card or device as locked.
  • Fixed route via departure dates not always showing as expected on the Route Properties dialog.
  • Fixed routes created in BaseCamp not displaying lane assist and junction views on some nuvi devices.
  • Fixed geocaches not correctly showing as found on Oregon devices.
  • Fixed search issue in some maps.
  • Fixed issue canceling route calculations.
  • Fixed out of memory crashes related to the undo buffer growing too large.
  • Fixed incorrect total space shown in the Device Information dialog for some nuvi and zumo devices.
  • Fixed Send To Device and Receive From Device dialogs sometimes not allowing the user to select a device.

  • Fixed other various bugs.


Addendum: we've just released 4.6.2. This is a bug fix release which addresses a common crash.

  • Bascamp error

    I installed the new update to basecamp and now i can't run it.

    it come up with an error

    Load library Failed error 1114: A Dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed

    what do i do to get it back up and running.
  • Try uninstalling it, then reinstall it. Ensure you reboot your PC between the two.
  • Basecamp should have an option to snap points (shaping points, etc) to roads. It seems to do this sometimes but not always.

    This would go a long way to creating routes that are just using roads easier and less "flaky".
  • My Garmin Basecamp 4.6.2 crashes after install at Windows 10.

    Hallo,
    My Garmin Basecamp 4.6.2 crashes after install at Windows 10.
    I tried to complete uninstall, reboot and install again (with admin privileges) again, no reason.
    I found this error report at PC (original name was Report.wer).
    Many thanks for the help.
    Ludo.
  • Your best bet might be to call Garmin Support.

    BC and Win10 generally work without issue, so detailed troubleshooting will be required to determine what is wrong with your system.
  • I'm sorry: Base Camp crashes at start immediately.
    Installation is ok, no error. But when Base Camp starts, crashes and it is not possible to open it.

  • New info (maybe helps to someone):
    I recognized that Base Camp works only when I run it in compatibility mode with Windows 8 (Properties/Compatibility).
    That is OK for me so far... ;)

  • I just did a new install of Basecamp 4.6.2 on my Surface Pro 3 with the very latest Windows 10, Anniversary Upgrade (build 1607). It was pretty slow to load the first time, but it's never very fast loading and I assume it's doing some extra setup the very first time, to make it worse. I've run it a few times now and it appears to be working fine.

  • BaseCamp gives error on launching staller when asked to update to V,4.6.2.0. Current version is 4.5.1. Running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit. There appear to be so many issues with this version, based on comments in this forum, that I hesitate to push ahead to install the update. Any suggestions?
