BaseCamp 3.2.2 has been released, it is available for download at http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=4435.

Currently there is a problem with the Auto-Update, so please use the download link for now.

3.2.2 is a Maintenance Release, that means it is mostly bug-fixes, not new features.

This is a list of changes:

  • Fixed an issue with migrating waypoints with thumbnails from previous versions of BaseCamp to 3.2.1. This issue could have corrupted the database.
  • Fixed an issue with tracks that had been duplicated becoming corrupted.
  • Added a prompt to notify the user when data loss might have occurred.
  • Added a 'restore from previous version' menu item.
  • Added support for exporting of fitness data (heart rate and cadence) in tracks.
  • Changed to attempt to fix the paths in Garmin Custom Maps (KML ground overlay) files at start-up without notifying the user that there were problems with the file.
  • Changed the message displayed at start-up when the current video mode/card doesn't support 3D.
  • Improved initial download size estimates for some BirdsEye products.
  • Fixed some issues with undo/redo.
  • Fixed several issues related to application shutdown.
  • Fixed an issue with not recognizing Garmin mode USB device (such as the GPSMap 60) arrival and removal.
  • Fixed several issues related to aborting transfers to Garmin mode USB devices.
  • Fixed some issues related to ejecting mass storage devices.
  • Fixed some issues with changing folder selection while using the BirdsEye wizard.
  • Fixed an issue with reading geotagged photos from many smartphones.

    Is there any way to stop Basecamp from automatically downloading the 3.2.2 update short of disconnecting the network connection before running Basecamp? It tells me it's downloading but there's no obvious way to stop it except to exit the program.

    Hovering and Waypoint Properties

    1. Hovering display of data should also be displayed when using the Zoom Tool, New Waypoint Tool, Insert Tool and Move Tool. The Zoom Tool should have the single point of focus, similar to the MapSource "+", in the upper left corner of the magnifier icon for accurate placement.
    2. The hovering display when using the Select Tool gets slow to respond and sometimes won't clear a caption box to display one currently under the cursor.
    3. The Hovering display shows only the City name rather than individual POIs at unpredictible times. The only way to get POI hovering captions is to change the zoom level.
    3. Waypoint Properties should display and allow editing of the Garmin extended XML address fields: StreetAddress, City, State, PostalCode, Country, PhoneNumber.
    4. Route numbers are hidden behind routes.

    Guy''s, where are the keyboard shortcuts?

    Something like:

    z = zoom tool
    s = select tool
    h = hand tool


    And maybe:
    i = insert point tool
    d = delete point tool
    m = move point tool
    c = cut/sptil route/track


    And
    Ctrl-W = create waypoint
    Ctrl-R = create route
    Ctrl--Shift-T = create track

    For that i miss all functions of the MapSource Extra menu as where the current BaseCamp Extra menu items are under another menu.


    And i have no idea of the amounnt of routepoints, time or distance in the normal view. I have to switch to the data/filter view and push routes to see them, much to far hidden.
    Better is that the label on the map which now only shows the route name when click once on a route shows not only the name, but also the distance and time.
    In the list of routeponts and directionals it is very handy to have a line counter in front of every entry (dubbel click route for route properties)


    Ahhh, i ask for new features :)

    My basecamp (after 321 blew up my data and I went back-rev) keeps asking me to install 321. To which I say "Later". There's no option to check for (3.2.2) update. Do I have to install 321, and then 322? Will the install of 321 blow up my data again? Can I just skip 321 and go directly to 322? How?

    Thanks.

    What about downloading the 3.2.2 installer and running it?

    I guess someone has to be first.....
    It seems to have worked. I got the error about my data being blown up, but this time it offered to restore my data from 3.1(.3).... and my collection seems intact. Will advise if this does not hold true.

    First saying it or first doing it?

    I always download the latest install package and update that way. BaseCamp's automatic and non-cancelable update mechanism is impolite at best IMO. But I guess that's for the LCD (Lowest Common Denominator) users.

    At least Garmin provides a direct download link unlike some other large name firms. Some (can you hear me Adobe & Google?) only let you download stubs that subsequently download & install the actual update. That's ok if you only have one box and don't want to archive the installer package. Fortunately there's ways around such tricks.

    Thanks for the feedback, although I have to I prefer it if feature requests were posted outside this thread. This is for specific 3.2.2 feedback, update trouble, 3.2.2 bugs you encounter etc.

    (I'll still consider the feedback, and create cases accordingly, of course.)

    Is there any way to stop Basecamp from automatically downloading the 3.2.2 update short of disconnecting the network connection before running Basecamp? It tells me it's downloading but there's no obvious way to stop it except to exit the program.

    If you are running a release version of BaseCamp (a non-Beta), then you should just be able to say "Later" and not download it. You can also disable the check for update in options, then you would never get prompted to download.

    I always download the latest install package and update that way. BaseCamp's automatic and non-cancelable update mechanism is impolite at best IMO. But I guess that's for the LCD (Lowest Common Denominator) users.


    I am somewhat confused. You can disable the update (by saying to never check for updates). Even if an update is found, you don't have to download it (just click later).

    The only thing we do that might fit your description is that we download the update in the background, so you can keep working. Would you like some progress feedback here and a way to cancel it (other than shutting down the app)?
