  • Windows Media Player 11 is not compatible with Windows 10. I have Windows 10. Microsoft will not let me install Windows Media Player 11 on Windows 10.

    I just upgraded the 4.6.1 version of Basecamp on Windows 10.

    It installed and ran fine for me.

    To fix turn on Windows Media Player feature of windows 10:

    1. open control panel
    2. click "Programs"
    3. under "Programs and Features", click "Turn Windows features on or off"
    4. click the "+" sign next to "Media Features" to open the list
    5. click the box next to "Windows Media Player" so that the box has a check mark
    5. click "OK" at the bottom of the dialogue box
  • Please remove the dependency on Windows Media Player.

    People who use one of the "N versions" of Windows do not have any WMP version installed, and it is pretty ridiculous to have to install that thing just to use BaseCamp.

    Thanks.
  • Basecamp and Surface Pro 4

    Hello,

    BC still not works with a surface pro. After few clicks or time there is no respond and you have to kill BC.
    Any ideas?

    Best regards

  • Properties wrong in 4.6.2

    The new 4.6.2 has at least 2 problems according to track properties:

    1. When selecting 2 entries, the minimum and maximum speed are incorrect. Also the average speed is incorrect. Min and max altitude however are correct.

    2. After selecting any line, you cannot return to the properties overview. Since the update clicking in the upper part of the window doesn't work anymore.

  • There is still an issue (at least for me) when using search. To reproduce the problem enter the map anywhere, click the magnifying glass with the search box empty, click search options, click Points of Interest, select Food and Drink and press search. You will be rewarded with a short list with maybe 3-8 items usually with items 1 & 2 duplicated, 3 & 4 duplicated, etc. If you then click on the ... or refresh you will get a complete list. It's not a big deal but it's been reported in at least the last 4 or 5 releases. Should have had time to fix.


    Duplicated, this should certainly be easy for the developers to address.
