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.

I would love to test this but it says it will not install on Vista Home Premium either?

Not sure if that's question or statement. It should run on Vista. I can try it but not right at the moment. I'll try in a few hours.

BC 4.3.0.3 Beta
Nuvi 2460 & 2595

Routes optimized in 4.3.0.3 do not appear to result in the same route - as the exact same route, optimized on the device

Device seems to route much more efficiently

(Unless I accidentally have slightly different data in BC vs Device. Checked, seems the same)

Routes optimized in 4.3.0.3 do not appear to result in the same route ...

A "curvy roads" routing option was added for Zumo (motorcycle) users in 4.3.x. Perhaps that affected other routing options.

It should run on Vista.

I tried installing 4.3.0.3 in a Vista SP2 Business fully patched VM and got

This is an unsupported OS version. Must be Windows 7 or greater.

Ok, I changed my mind... I cannot make a search work where Yelp is involved! When I search any hotel that has a Yelp reference in the above configuration I always get the "Locating Yelp Result" dialog and it never goes away. If you CANCEL it does not place the Waypoint :-( It knows it's there, but waiting for Yelp I guess, so how can I just disable the Yelp Result lookup and just place the Waypoint?

Workaround:: Go to Google Maps and search the location you are looking for, Right-Click on the location, Click on "What's Here?", get the GPS coords, make a fake Waypoint near the place you think your location is in BaseCamp, bring up the Waypoint properties, paste in the Google GPS coord and build your own Waypoint. Why should I have to do this???? :-(

Have any other bright ideas?

The problem is with licensing. Yelp wouldn't let us just use their waypoint lat and long. So we have to find it on the map. I will try to reproduce your issue.

And by finding it on the map I don't mean just drop a waypoint. We need to have the same point of interest on our maps.

Running 4.3.0.3 beta, I noticed in a custom activity profile I created for routing on "blue highways" or secondary, more scenic roads, I can not select the curvy road routing option.. I can however, set it in the motorcycle activity option...

Is this by design, or is a bug?

Thanks for confirming the issue. I too got error messages when trying to install on Vista Home Professional.

JM47048 can you please address this issue? Seems contrary to your posts.

I could understand not covering XP, now being an unsupported OS, but Vista SP2??

Thanks.

By design. The curvy roads option was designed for motor cycle users who have Zumo hardware. If this is something users want to see for automotive use, it is something I can bring up.

Apologies... this is correct. Will not install on Vista. Windows 7 or greater is required.
