  • 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.

  • Fixed an issue displaying route elevation graphs
  • Strange. I'm just about to head out to instruct on map reading so have just created a route on BC and sent it to my nuvi. I know I pass two junction views where I'm heading so will see what happens and report back in around 5 hours time :)

    (Good to see you back here :))
  • Okay, I'm back. The route sent to my 2508 from BaseCamp showed both junction views I was expecting so no idea why you are still having issues.

    And it definitely didn't auto-recalculate the route on the device?

    I can repeat the symptoms on mine without leaving the house. I set a short route through a motorway junction in basecamp and load it into the Nuvi. Running the route in simulator mode shows up the fault, but if I then let the Nuvi recalculate the route between the same points the photo real junction works OK.

    Interesting to see I'm not the only one with the problem!
  • No, I was careful not to let it recalculate. Perhaps there are some devices that fail? Mine is a 2508 ...
  • Yeah, don't know. But it seems that this is not fixed. Hopefully in the next version. 2599.

    Crashes under a simple serach.

    Garmin Basecamp 4.6.2 - French - Win10 64bits
    not an update of basecamp but a clean fresh install
    Nuvi 3598 - Updated - Connected or not same behavior

    I create a new route, go to next, select a starting point and...it crashes on the search
    Systematically !! I can't even create a single route.

    I unsinstalled, rebooted, redownloaded, reinstalled, same behavior.
    Maybe your download file on the server is corrupt. ??

    Can't upload the print screen the image tool says "undefined" whatever i select jpg or png...
  • Unfortunately the BaseCamp developers don't pop in here very often these days. Your best bet is to call Product Support.

    I've never had a crash under the conditions you describe so its likely a problem with your system or perhaps an issue when you select French. Does it do the same if you select English?

    Thanks for your fast feedback.

    I test it right now and ... yes it is the same,

    I enter :

    Suisse,[Space]Lutry,[Space]

    And it crashes, After Suisse,[Space]Lutry a dropdown bow appears with Lutry on top of the list, after that I type in the [space] and it crashes.
    Sometimes it crashes after "Suisse,[Space].

    Also strange Win10 says it crashes twice.

    I then tried to revert Basecamp to its original basic parameters without more luck. :(

    Maybe yes, it might be due to something else but I have pretty clean system and Basecamp is the only program crashing :(:(:(
  • Well I've just tested that on my Win10 system and I agree it causes an instant crash. Your best bet as already suggested is to contact Product Support.

    It doesn't crash on my Win7 setup.
