I am used to workign with Base Camp and my F1 for a couple of years and am used to being able to drag tracks and waypoints from Base Camp to the F1 and visa versa.
When I drag waypoints from Base C amp to the F5 there appears to be a limit of 8 characters, this would appear to be a retrograde upgrade. Is there a fix on the way or is this the new standard.
And coupled with this I normally set the proximity alarm in (for example say 10M for each waypoint) Base Camp and this imports nicley into the F!. But in the F5 this data is lost in the drag process. I have figured I can see and set the proximity alarm in the waypoint list visible in the F5 using Base Camp. But then in the field the proximty alarm does not not actually function.
It looks like I can set the proximity alarm for each waypoint inside the F5, but I've not tested if this works yet and this would be seriously tedious for a course with 200 waypoints.
Most of my use of the GPS functions is off track bush navigation so the way point functions are very important.
Am I using the wrong PC software with Base Camp? Or are these issues Garmin is still working out?
