Garmin Adventures have arrived. Learn more about them in this forum post or on the official Garmin Adventures Web Site.

The detailed change list:

Added arrival, departure, and layover times for route via-points.
Added a context menu on the map for the hand and selection tools.
Added support for waypoint creation date, which will not be changed when updating the waypoint.
Added a list in the waypoint properties dialog to display which routes a waypoint is used in.
Added ability to collapse folder groups (like 'My Collection' or 'Devices').
Added support for temperature and pressure in track statistics and graphs.
Added support to delete waypoints that are included in a route.
Added Basestation mode for compatible Astro, Rhino, and Alpha devices.
Added more columns to the data view for Waypoints, Garmin Custom Maps, GeoCaches and Photos.

    From the warning verbiage about not recognizing supplamentary maps, I assume this is the reason it is giving me the warning even though I have the identical maps on both?


    Yes, that is exactly why. BaseCamp doesn't read maps that were created by MapInstall. If BaseCamp can read the map from the SD card, then there should be no warning.

    You can ignore the warning if you are sure you have the correct map installed.

    I cannot get the BaseStation feature to work with my Rino 650 units.

    I have tried four of the Australasian new Garmin Rino 650, all updated to software version 3.00. BaseCamp is version 4.0.1 on a Windows 7 computer.

    When I connect the Rino to the USB cable I get the question "Would you like to enter BaseStation mode? and then tap the Yes icon. The Rino then goes to the normal Main Menu page.

    However BaseCamp does not see the Rino as a Device. It sees the tracks on the Rino and offers to use the Adventure feature but there's no Devices heading.

    On the Rino > Setup > System > Interface = Basestation

    Can you let me know what "MBP BaseCamp summary info" is please? And what is 3.3.3 from the app store? Are you on the right topic? Pardon me if these are silly questions.

    GEORGESLK, this is the Windows section. You will have to ask your question on the Mac section of the forums.

    KIWIGPS, that doesn't sound right. It sounds like your Rino still connects in Mass Storage Mode, not in Basestation mode. Could you double-check your Rino is in Basestation mode, connect it to BaseCamp and take a screen-shot? You might have to contact Product Support about this one.

    On my maps all the States from Pennsylvanian up to Maine have a gray background if using Higher or Highest map detail. This isn't anything new in BC, I don't remember if it was this way in MS. I'm using NA NT 2013.1 and BC 4.0.1.

    With the recent update I have noticed a change in the list/folder structure in the left column. I set up list folders that I'll name by the State where the trip routes are. I'll then have multiple lists within that folder that might be called northwest, southwest, etc. and then I'll have multiple routes within those lists. Before the update when I clicked on the list icon it would open up and list the individual route names within that list with the green route icon. Since the update I don't have the route sublist anymore, when I click on the list icon it will just display all the routes from that list overlayed on the map. Is that an intended change, a bug or a screwup in my download of the update?

    If I understand correctly, when you click on a list in the upper left pane, you see the routes in the map pane, but they are not listed in the lower right pane.

    This could be due to the date filter being set to something other than list or routes. Try clicking on the icon that looks like a funnel/plug in the lower left pane and make sure that the list icon is selected.

    It’s definitely not a bug or an intended change.

    Thank you for continuing to improve BaseCamp.
    I would like to make a request. The right click menu on the lists and waypoints has changed considerably. It used to be consistent with Windows UI and I wish it still was.

    ‘Properties’ used to be on that menu and should be. I realize that you can double click on a waypoint to open the properties, but I am hoping that you agree that consistent with Windows makes sense.

    Also, right clicking on a list no longer has the export option, something I do all the time because without a .gpx file, I cannot rebuild my data when it is wiped out by BaseCamp. Again, I realize that the option still exists in the top ‘file’ menu, but putting a relevant item on the right click menu makes more sense than having ‘create new list folder’ when clicking a list item. A list folder cannot even be a child to a list.

    The ‘move to’ and ‘send to’, essentially copy to, are also inconsistent with the Windows UI which as you know is drag and drop. If you want to simplify the right-click menu, perhaps remove those and possibly the Garmin Adventures and BirdsEye items which have redundant menus in the top menu.

    Thank you
