Warning
This is beta software, or an early peak at an incomplete product. We value your input, so we are providing this to you so that you can send us your comments and ideas. We have tested this beta version extensively, but that doesn't mean that there won't be bugs. Use at your own risk.
Notes
- Please backup your existing data from BC 3.1 before running the beta.
- The beta build requires you to allow Garmin to collect statistics on how you use BaseCamp to help us improve the application. This will be optional for the release of BaseCamp 3.2, but it is a required condition for using the beta.
- We know that routing (especially long routes) have issues. We are working on the issue.
- Activity profiles are still a work in progress, in particular migrating existing routing options.
- We have had intermittent success testing BirdsEye Select because of some oddities with the servers. Please let us know your experience.
