Importing gpx files now place the content in the desired list even inside folders.
Made a couple of searches with quick search with results appearing with low delay. Will keep testing
Thanks for the update!

AS USUAL, 4.2.3.0 DOES NOT honor 4.2.2.0 TOOL BAR POSITIONS.

EVERY SINGLE RELEASE, this bug returns.

I can't reproduce the tool bar problem either...
The tool bars are in the exact same position as in 4.2.2.

Win8 64bit I7 16GB ram, update moved the tool bars, deselected some of them, and each restart randomly moves them again, although not every time.

Have not seen that problem. Everything's where it was before update. But then I'm running Win7 on Parallels on my Mac.

Hi all,

I cannot update BaseCamp to latest version.

I'm Under Win 7 and I can't update BC from 4.1.2 to 4.2.3.
Installer says BCMAIN.msi is missing, even when browsing to the file after unrar of the exe, here's the error message:

The file "E:\blah\blah\BaseCamp_423\BCMAIN.msi" is not a valid installation package for the product Garmin BaseCamp. Try to find the installation package "BCMAIN.msi" in a folder from which you can instal Garmin BaseCamp.

So I show twice the correct path to BCMAIN.msi, and after that installation ends on a red crossed error message saying:

Erreur msi:InstallFailure

After what the installation process ends and that's all.

I cannot beat a wall alone. Maybe an idea someone ?...

The only time I see this issue is when Basecamp launches with a reduced window size. Even if I maximize the window, one of the tools ends up on it's own line. Basecamp did come up in a reduce window after the upgrade and the tools were not restored properly. Subsequent launches of Basecamp behaved as expected.

Are you doing an in-place update from within BaseCamp? If so, try downloading the update directly from the website. Perhaps this is a bad download. That can happen on occasion. Others are able to install so I think perhaps a corrupted installer was received.
