BaseCamp 3.1.1 and Window arrangement

It seems that the detailed list window and object details are now the same. (My Collection)

This splits the screen fixed into 4 parts where map or object details are getting too less viewable array.

But pictures tell more than words in this case.


Old style:


Current and new style



This is not an improvement in my opinion. Design choice or bug?

    I deleted the folder, but F11 still doesn't work. OTOH, the default setting included the Overview Map, which, with the new layout, seems quite useful. I would have otherwise missed that. Thanks!

    Can you double-check the "F-Lock" key (if your keyboard has one)?

    That's it: thank you. Full-screen now works as advertised, albeit with the overlapping behavior I noted above for maximized windows.

    Here is what I see when I revert BaseCamp from full-screen mode. Note that the filter icons are partially blocked by the Vista taskbar. It only happens if the BaseCamp windowis maximized (which suggests a simple workaround).

    To echo others' comments, thank you Garmin for trying to make the data more useable! However, I'm finding it much more difficult than before to use it on my netbook with a limited screen space. At home on my big 22" 16:9 monitor, it works pretty well, but on a tiny screen, there's really not much room left for the map view.

    Maybe I need to poke around more and find new tricks, but so far, not so good.

    Again, nice step in the right direction, just please be mindful of the ways us power users are stressing your stuff. :D

    Here is my $.02. After using the new BC for a week or so, there is no way i will be happy with the Tracks, Waypoints,etc listed at the bottom of the screen. What a waste of real estate.

    My screen is wider than it is tall, and my Laptop is a 9:12 aspect ratio---much wider than tall. The window locations were perfect in 3.0.6 is.

    At least give us a choice! back to 3.0.6.
