BaseCamp 4.3.0.3 BETA is Now Available

Former Member over 11 years ago

BaseCamp 4.3.0.3 BETA is now available and can be downloaded here:

http://developer.garmin.com/apps/BC/BaseCampBeta_4.3.0.3.exe

This release does not support XP.

You do not have to uninstall BaseCamp 4.2.5 and it will not overwrite that installation. The BETA and an official release of BaseCamp will live side-by-side but must be used separately. However the 4.3.0.2 BETA will be replaced.

Below is a list of changes. This is only a BETA release.

Improved UI for address search
Improved results for address search auto-complete
Fixed a bug where Top Results search didn't refresh in advanced
Fixed a bug where cancelling the address search find did not work
Fixed a bug where address searches were not yielding results on device maps
Improved matching of serach results if search results exactly match user entered criteria
Fixed inversion of route departure times
Update free-form search string whenever advanced search parameters change
Fixed a bug where attemping to do an address search forces a POI search
Fixed not being able to clear departure time on last via if set after inverting route

Post here if you have questions.

The BETA is currently only for English users.

Before using this release, back up your data.

NOTE: We are aware of some issues with routing. Moving waypoints caused the route to leave roads unexpectedly. We know about this issue, and a fix is undergoing QA, however it did not make it into this build. There is no need to report on this issue, we believe we have that under control.

Please post any bugs you may find here. This release is to assist us in testing with a wider user base and wider set of devices. Bugs may be present, and any feedback is welcomed.

Again, thank you for all who participate.

Just checking to see if there's any guidance on this? It wasn't a one-time thing.

I will have to do some research. I am sorry I do not have an answer for you just yet.

By the way, I just want to be sure... this is happening in BaseCamp? You might plug the device in while Express is running and see if it has an update.

Correct. BC 4.3.0.3. I will hook it up and check it against GE in the morning.

I have corrected for your crash. So hopefully that won't happen anymore.

.........a new case based on your issue for a future release since this is not a trivial change. This needs to be designed properly so that we do not bounce on people's profile settings by accident.

Great! You guys are real pros... and certainly reinforces customer commitment to Garmin..

When creating a route from a track, weird things happen. (I would upload a pdf to show this but the system won't let me so I have sent it via email to win.basecamp along with the GDB file.)

The example is of a circuit route with the same departure and destination points. What happens is that, in places, the route goes "cross country" departing from the track but many tens of meters. For most of the route, the route follows the roads very well. When I try to create a shaping point to get the track back onto the road, it ignores the rest of the circuit and becomes a "there and back" route to the shaping point and back along the same road ignoring the track completely beyond the shaping point.

(BTW, how do I delete files from the Manage Attachments in this Forum that I have already uploaded please? I have used my limit and can't seem to clear what is already there.)

Well we try. I am annoyed at the bug that will still exist, but we have it documented and we will get it fixed. The only problem you should have on the release is that you may have to reapply your profile settings to the destination machine. Not ideal, but you're not broken anymore.

I am not sure how to delete the attachments. I haven't tried. One of the other mods knows though I'm sure.

I looked into your issue and there are a couple of things going on: First off we did have a calculation issue where such a thing was happening. I have corrected that. The other question I have for you is did you filter this track prior to doing the calculation? The track itself on my City Nav map too also does some weird cross country things.

I did not filter anything. I downloaded the track from a website and tried to convert it into a route. As I said, the route takes loads of shortcuts across country but also does not act like any other route that can be edited - i.e. it does not remember any points on the route if you add a waypoint or shape point.

I am using the latest City Navigator Europe mapping.

Thanks for that. It's a bit odd that removing those three attachments has removed them from the relevant posts. It seems a bit restrictive and penalizes people trying to help.
