A beta version of BaseCamp 3.2 is available (link below). Please read the following:

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.


Changes

Changes listed below are above and beyond the previous beta

  • Improved routing
  • BirdsEye downloads should now work
  • Added dragging photos onto the map views
  • Added dragging files into My Collection and the user data list
  • Added activity profile selection dialog at startup, improved migration of existing route settings and routes
  • Added better preserving app state when restarting (selected tool, selected folder, selected view modes, etc)
  • Added support for restoring backups from different computers
  • Changed drawing style of routes and tracks to use thinner lines
  • Fixed issue with adding and removing links on various property tabs
  • Various improvements to the draw order slider for imagery
  • Improved find address near center of screen
  • Removed filtered routes
  • Removed the "Route style" group box from the route options since it doesn't make sense to have multiple "Direct" route profiles.

    Are you missing any KML files? Does 3.1.3 show any KML files that you are interested in? If your answer is 'no' to both of these questions I'd say go ahead and check if there is a folder named "%APPDATA%\GARMIN\BaseCamp\KmlOverlays". Delete that folder and the message at start-up should go away.


    I backed up the KmlOverlays folder and deleted it, but the warning still appeared when I restarted 3.2.0.2. When I filtered for custom maps in "My Collection" I noticed that the two overlays that were there before still were listed in the data view even though they no longer appeared on the map. I deleted them from the data view, restarted, and the warning dialog was gone.

    I then restored the custom maps by dragging and dropping them from the Devices/GPSmap62s part of the library panel back into "My Collection." After that the startup warning dialog returned.

    Everything seems to work properly in BaseCamp, just the minor annoyance of having to click the 'Fix' button every time I start the beta version when there are custom maps in "my Collection."

    maps not showing up on basecamp list

    I uploaded the 3.22 and installed; also bought the lifetime upgrade and upgraded the base software on my Nuvi 500 to current NA 2012.30.
    Before these changes I had the 24ktopo West on the unit. After upgrading the 24k disappeared all together. In fact, Basecamp does not even recognize it as being on my computer even when I load the original disc in the drive. Earlier Mapinstall does not see it either. any suggestions?

    other than that I really like the new basecamp.

    think I figured it out...needed SP3 which I have not been able to install...crashes my system and badly. I've uninstalled and deleted all 3.2.2 that I had installed and will attempt the AMD patch to my system and then try sp3...again...stupid MS.
