BaseCamp 3.3 is here! We are starting off with an early Beta release to give everyone a chance to check out the new features and pound on it for a little bit before we release the final version.

Download it here: http://developer.garmin.com/apps/BC/BaseCamp_3.3.0.2_Beta.exe.

We have incorporated a lot of user requests from this very forum. If your desired feature/bug fix didn't make it into this release, don't hesitate to remind us.

We are very interested in your feedback, please report bugs and oddities you find, and comment on the new features.

This is the change-list from 3.2.2 to 3.3.0.2. I will add some explanations and screen-shots in later posts.

  • Added collapsible list folders and sub-lists for improved organization.
  • Added shaping point support for zumo devices like done in MapSource.
  • Added explicit support for shaping points. These will be transferred to supporting devices.
  • Added support for transfer of waypoint categories on supporting devices. These are displayed in BaseCamp as lists.
  • Added more activity profiles, with improved activity routing on supported maps.
  • Added specific avoidances for various road classes, removed the road selection slider.
  • Added custom activity profiles.
  • Added keyboard short-cuts for editing tools (divide, insert, erase).
  • Added a tools menu for easier discovery of tool keyboard shortcuts.
  • Changed to make GPX files on a memory card directly editable.
  • Changed to read all GPX files on a memory card, similar to how devices behave.
  • Improved graphing of track data.
  • Improved graphing when multiple routes or tracks are selected.
  • Improved layout of geotagged photo, waypoint, route, and track properties.
  • Added additional statistics to route and track properties.
  • Added 'Center on map' check-box on route and track dialogs.
  • Added an easier way to add waypoints to routes (Insert Waypoint button).
  • Added additional data fields to waypoints (such as address and phone number).
  • Added display and updating of date last modified for waypoints.
  • Added display of lists that contain this data item to properties.
  • Added receiving geocache visits from devices.
  • Added logging geocache visits on OpenCaching.com.
  • Added printing of geocaches.
  • Added alternate notification mechanism (less annoying pop-ups).
  • Added display settings to adjust width of routes and tracks.
  • Added support for importing waypoints and tracks from KML/KMZ files.
  • Added suggested file name when exporting (so it isn't always 'untitled').
  • Added more map details for higher detail setting.
  • Added data filters to map view.
  • Added preserving the dialog size for each data type.
  • Added option to reset track's altitude to map data.
  • Added functionality to remember display feature settings per profile.
  • Changed 'Remove List and Contents' to 'Remove list and unique contents'.
  • Added Shift-Delete short-cut for 'Remove list and unique contents'.
  • Improved printing of routes and tracks.
  • Fixed issues with sending routes to the zumo.
  • Fixed elevation profile labels for Windows XP (no longer invisible).
  • Fixed issue when duplicating a route. BaseCamp will now also duplicate the waypoints in that route.
  • Fixed issue with the data filter not being remembered between application runs.

    Gui

    Too easy to use the delete key.
    (Sometimes user data is instantly deleted without asking for confirmation.)

    You've got ctrl-Z to undo any changes, including deletions. The change history is kept until you exit BC.

    BUG: Waypoints in lists not being displayed...

    I noticed this anomaly / BUG recently.... (last week before joining this forum)

    At one point, had a couple of waypoints that I had imported (copied) from Montana 650. I kept wondering why they were not appearing on the map.
    (They were showing up in the "List" but not on the map......)

    To get them back, I actually copied them into to another list located in a different folder. (And then back again)

    I have no idea of how or why they became invisible on the map, but they did. At first was thinking I must be doing something wrong. That clearly wasn't the case. I actually began looking for a "right click" option (on the missing item's "alt menu") for a show / hide option.

    At the time, it appeared to me that there may be an unused "hidden / show" attribute feature not yet implemented in this version of BaseCamp. (v3.3.0.2 beta)

    Yeah, but....

    You've got ctrl-Z to undo any changes, including deletions. The change history is kept until you exit BC.


    I am aware of this.... But it's still too easy to hit the wrong key (delete) key unintentionally and deleting a waypoint etc.

    Being very fast on a keyboard, I speed type, and sometimes I still hit the wrong key. (Especially the weird ones when in low light.) ie: go for the arrow key and catch the delete key by mistake..... With no warning, waypoint / data could be gone forever.

    And, I know there is a backup feature, but there's no reason to restore if you don't know anything is wrong or missing in the first place!

    Besides, sometimes (as in: right click options) you get a prompt warning that a waypoint is about to be deleted. Hence, there is no consistency in program behavior in this regards.....

    I'd hate to be saddled with having to acknowledge each and every delete, especially since I can't select a range of lists or multi-select with ctrl.

    That's a valid point, and there should be a confirmation setting in options.

    HOWEVER: Your response uncovered another even more significant gui problem..... The current version of Basecamp (non beta version 3.2.2) does in fact support multiple delete via multi-select using shift/ctrl!..... (I just checked, as I have multiple versions currently installed on this system.) ~ What happened to this feature in the new beta version?

    Are they killing off existing features, or is this just an oversight?

    Has nothing to do with my post. Switch off, reboot has nothing to do with delete of user data.
    But anyway, I didn't get things clear.
    I didn't mean the coping process from BC to the Zumo, beside it is not an import process. But I meant the manual route import on the Zumo you have to execute to get the routes known to the Zumo.

    Hi,
    I just came over another problem. Sometimes, if I do a right klick on an route I just get the menu entry "reset headers". When is this the case? It's pretty annoying.

    Reset Header problem too.

    I have the same problem as Dude (Marcus) above with the Reset Headers, only for me it's when I want to rename a new Waypoint, (which happens to be the same name as the Track--if that matters). I must double click the Waypoint to bring up the Properties and rename it. A couple of extra clicks. BUT, which I use the Divide tool on a Track, and then I want to Delete the unused portion of the Track by right clicking---I get Reset Headers again, with no way, that I know of, to delete the unwanted portion. How would I do that?

    I have a suggestion also: When viewing Track Properties/Graph, add a choice of Distance or Time, like Training Center has. I only use TC when I can't do something in BC. I ride my bike on a Trainer up here in the frigid north, and I like to "record" my Cadence and Heartrate using my Oregon 450, but since I don't go anywhere, there is no distance involved. It would be nice to view both of them, in reference to time riding.

    Overall, I'm happy with the changes you've made--kudos :)

    In the beta 3.3.0.2, you must delete each waypoint individually.....
