BaseCamp is 4.4.4 now available and can be downloaded here:

http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=4435

This release does not support XP.

Installation of this version will overwrite your previous BaseCamp installation.

Here are the changes made in this version:
  • Fixed several issues when using the Pan Tool and the <ALT> key to move route points
  • Fixed autorouting issue where straight line segments were inserted after each waypoint
  • Improved track to route behavior. Now supports preserving the shape of track sections that aren't near a road.
  • Improved handling in situations where the computer is low on memory
  • Changed displayed route times to take layovers into account
  • Fixed issue with 'higher education' map symbols showing up as airports
  • Fixed certain instances of route direction text where the text was 'turn left/right' instead of 'bear left/right'
  • Fixed issue when recalculating a route via the context menu in the data list
  • Fixed various issues sending data to memory cards
  • Changed to automatically unlock BirdsEye for a device when sending the BirdsEye to a card in that device
  • Fixed various issues with Adventure search
  • Fixed issue sending ADM files to cards for marine devices
  • Added the command line option /Disable3D to disable the 3D view in BaseCamp. This was added to prevent startup issues with misbehaving graphics drivers.


Post here if you have questions.

The non-English language version of the software will be available through the in-application software update check shortly.

Please post any bugs you may find here.

Thank you all in advance for any feedback you may have.

*4.4.3 as a version number was skipped to be in-line with the Mac version.
  • Think that's a first. With nothing done by me the new version picked up my old database and also retained toolbar position and other settings ... good job :)

    Haven't had a chance to try it out yet though ...

    I just installed it. The update was issue free. I'll leave it to others to test the fixes (esp. routing).
  • Address postcode search in UK is still broken, and now worse than previously. If you hit Ctrl + Alt + F to bring up the address fields, and then enter street number and postcode this results in the postcode being placed in the street field when you hit 'search'. If you input number, street and postcode. then hit 'search' the postcode is appended to the street name. If you just input the postal code, and select the result from the drop down box then hit 'search' the first part is placed in the Street Number field, the second in the Street field. Clearly none of these will give a result, although all should work.

    The only way postcode search now works (so a step backwards) is in the search box top right ... and address search in the various fields works fine provided you know the full address and don't use the postcode. If you try inputting the full address including the postcode the postcode is appended to the City name and the search again fails.

    @Stuart ... Glad I kept Mapsource, seems it's back to there for address searching again :)

    We have a case open for this. It did not make it into this release. We are aware however of the issue.

    Ah OK, just it's worse than before so thought some tinkering had been done :)
