Can I use my nuvi connected to my laptop to show my location in real time in basecamp?
On other programs I can connect my GPS and it will show my current location.

Nope :)

I've not tried it with my Nuvi, but my eTrex will do that when connected to Google Earth.

There is not currently in place a way for BaseCamp to receive your current location.

I need to find that out. I don't know if that made it on the road map.

BaseCamp can show real-time location for devices that support Basestation mode. It's mostly dog tracking devices (new Astros, Alpha) and the Rino GPS radio that support this feature.

There are no plans to enable real-time location for Nuvis.

Even in MapSource that feature has long been removed.
