Change List
Added support for Garmin Cloud Storage.

Improved behavior when editing or deleting route and track points in a list, BaseCamp now remembers the position in the list.

Cloud Storage

Every Garmin user will have 150MB of cloud storage to sync your data (waypoints, routes, tracks, etc.) between different computers. This should be fairly seemless, just log in with your MyGarmin account, drag and drop data into your cloud storage device and it will be synced on the cloud so can access it if you run BaseCamp on a different machine.

Part I of Find Rework

BaseCamp will now search for several data types concurrently (like the Mac version has been doing for a while). There is no city selector box anymore (you should just be able to search for e.g. "sea world, san diego, ca" from anywhere on the map). We added a find menu. You can search in your data as well now (useful if your collection has grown very large).

Find is still a work in progress, but any feedback would be more than welcome. There will be further find improvements in 4.2.

Custom POIs

BaseCamp can now display and search for Custom POIs (contained in GPI files) that are on the device.

Report Map Errors

Now you can just right-click on the map and report a mapping error directly to Garmin. The form will be prefilled with the map product and the location. Reporting map errors does make a difference and our cartography team is very eager to receive them. So report away!

    Poor, why its not possible to import FIT not only from the Garmin device? BC has the ability to work with FIT but doesn't offer it for importing. This makes no sence and can't be difficult to realize.

    I just tried it with Mapsource 6.16.3 with CNNA 2013.3. There are several subcategories that show up in Mapsource that don't in BC. They are Bank/ATM, Food & Drink, Auto Services, Shopping. There is a category called Marine in BC that I don't see in Mapsource.


    I do have these categories show up for me with CNNA 2013.3. Can you try to close BaseCamp, delete the product cache and launch BaseCamp again?

    The product cache is located at "C:\Users\FALAGAR\AppData\Local\Garmin\BaseCamp\ProductDataCache" for me with Windows 7.

    Cloud storage is a good idea but ...

    Not able to store BirdsEye?
    Not able to store Folder/List structure so all you get is one long list?

    Guess at the moment I'll stick with carrying around a memory stick with the Basecamp Data Folder on it.


    One step at a time. :) BirdsEye's size probably just a bit prohibitive with only 150 MB to play with. I'd like folders and lists as well. Maybe in another version.

    For me indexed address search works only on City Navigator map. Can't get reliable search on older Garmin maps nor on cgpsmapper maps.

    It looks like there is indexed search if you follow address template as "street, city". This is language dependent and actually wrong in Polish, where people write address as "city, street". Query in Polish format doesn't find any address in BaseCamp at all. So removing city field gives rather problems than advantages.

    Some releases ago when pressing Ctrl '-' BaseCamp zoomed map to full extent. This worked for maps installed on PC. Would be nice to have it back.


    We'll look into the format for the Polish search.

    Ctrl '-' works for me when I just tried it.

    We haven't gotten around to hooking this in, sorry. It's on the list.

    Using CN 2013.30 I can search for the street I live in while I'm viewing it on the map by simply typing Gorse Avenue in the search box and BC finds it.

    Move the map so my street is a 20 or so miles away and it doesn't find it but finds other Gorse Avenue further away. Seems to be affected by distance/zoom.


    Where is this Gorse Avenue exactly? I'd like to check into this.

    BaseCamp 4100 - Toolbars once again refuse to remember placement when restarting the application.

    Regardless of where I place the PlayBack toolbar, when I restart BaseCamp, the toolbar always returns above all the other toolbars, taking up valuable screen real estate.

    Which older Garmin map did you use?

    We'll look into that. Thanks for reporting and sorry about the trouble.
