BaseCamp 3.3.1 has been released, it is available for download at http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=4435. It should also be available via auto-update from an earlier version of BaseCamp.

This is a localized release, so it is available in 22 languages.

This is the first release that will feature an online help, that is why the download size of the installer is quite a bit smaller than it used to be.

Also new with this release is are some beginner videos that will explain some of BaseCamp's basic functionality. You can get to them from the new Welcome page from within BaseCamp, or by visiting http://www8.garmin.com/learningcenter/training/basecamp/#PC.

Changes from 3.2.2 to 3.3.1:

  • 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'.
  • Added a confirmation dialog for 'Remove list and unique contents'.
  • Added hiding of Activity profiles.
  • Added creating OpenCaches from waypoints.
  • Added calculating ascent and descent for direct routes.
  • Added indication of data filter visibility state on the data list.
  • Added recalculation of more than 1 route at a time.
  • Improved printing of routes and tracks.
  • Change to prevent property dialogs becoming lost off screen after screen resolution changes.
  • Fixed issues with sending routes to the zumo.
  • Update waypoint references to new map data when recalculating routes.
  • Fixed any profiles from BaseCamp 3.2 that have invalid routing preferences (ie invalid vehicle types and incorrect avoidances).
  • Fixed issue writing out altitude when exporting to the GDB file format.
  • Fixed track filtering 'automatic mode' for tracks with no time information.
  • 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.

    Yes I did but I want to print the map + the info in the properties box only.(Distance & Time to each Waypoint) The stats options only prints a summary (total dist and total time)?


    I apologize, I don't believe that is currently possible. Once we rework our print capabilities (which is planned, but not for 4.0), that should be doable.

    Thanks, looking forward to the new versions....
  • I have way points (Not POIs) in Basecamp I cannot delete. These are not on the GPS. They are in the Basecamp database. And the list in the way point properties is not in the folder or in any of the folders. I removed it.

    Horses?

    How about horseback riders?

    Activity profile and routing changes



    We added more activity profiles, in preparation for maps that will support routing based on activity (mountain-bikers might want different routes that road bikers).

    You will now be able to add custom profiles, and you can hide profiles you are not interested in.

    You can now adjust which map features you want to display for each profile. Future map products will also draw the map differently, depending which activity you have selected (e.g. we would draw highways less prominent if the activity is mountain-biking).



    We made some routing changes under the hood to support activity routing. The road selection slider is gone, to make up for it we added more specific avoidances. This is also the way the devices are going. We are working with the device teams trying to make sure route settings match and routes are as similar as possible between BaseCamp and the device. This is an ongoing effort.

    More keyboard short-cuts for tools



    As requested, we added keyboard short-cuts for move, insert and divide. We also added a Tools menu that makes discovering these short-cuts easy. The former Tools menu is now Utilities (just like in MapSource, yay).

    Currently that's the activities the devices support, we might add more in the future.

    You can create your own custom horseback riding profile and try to adjust the route settings to your liking.
  • How are you trying to update? If from within BC then there have been problems lately using that method. Your best bet is to download directly from here:
