Within the first 15 minutes of use BC crashed four times. But, BaseCamp is still about as slow as it was on my ten year old iMac. (BTW, I spent 30 years as a product manager responsible for complex medical imaging devices, so I do feel I have a sense of what makes a decient UI.) I just updated from a ten year old iMac to a new iMac 4.2 GHz i7, 32 GB RAM, 3TB Fusion Drive - very fast machine. I keep hoping Garmin will do an overhaul of this aged, unintuitive, overly complicated and frustrating application, but I am disappointed with each new release/update. I have been using Garmin devices for many years - BaseCamp for the past 10 years.

Then they said I should ask Apple about it.I'm now doing my own trials on another mac to try revert. Support at one time came back to me with a "fix" to do a backup, uninstall & re-install (first problem report was I coud not do a backup!).

Also support admitted thay don't have a mac! The development staff does obviously and apparently tried to "duplicate my problem", but never really answered my questions like if they had started at 4.8.7 and then did an update - I think only working with a fresh install (which would lose my data).

Basically said that SW develpment could not tell me what their install routine does inside the OS so I could get files from a Time machine backup to revert to the old version and save my data. Support was responsive but unwilling to do anything about it to research a work around to save my data. The program now fails to export files to an internal volume, even to backup your library. there is too much hidden User Interface and they constantly keep changing how it works.Many people don't like Basecamp, but I have never found an alternative for computer based routing that have the database capabilities, and recently I have been looking hard. But I just cannot come to grips with Google Maps itself. as well as Rand McNally, DeLorme and who knows what others. I, too, have used Basecamp from the beginning and Mapsource before it. It also leverages Google's Search functions to show you all kinds of interesting stuff along the way. it's browser-based and uses the Google basemap, so you can run it on a computer with a large screen and then export your routes to your phone or GPS. You might like to try Furkot for route planning. I have tried some of the other programs and none of them convinced me to leave Basecamp.įor serious route planning, especially adventurous routes that take the tiny back roads, the phone screen is too small. It would be nice to travel with my iPad and not need my computer in case I want to plan additional routes. What we need is an app that allows for the planning of routes and fixes the quirks of the program. The future whether we like it or not is smartphone based, as that is what young people use and they are the consumers that matter for the future. It has consistently worked for me when I plan multi-day trips. I’ve used Basecamp since it’s beginning and I like the program.
