You can buy them from Garmin, but you definitely donвЂ™t need to.ДЇollow the next 4 easy steps to install the free maps from OSM (Openstreetmap) onto your PC. You know IвЂ™m not the only one who is frustrated.When you want to start working with Garmin BaseCamp, you need some maps installed. Garmin folks, you have to get it togetherвЂ¦ Please.

That job is handed off to the MapInstall program, and (apparently) that's where the problem exists. Waypoints are saved automatically and appear in the. Installing 'regular' Garmin maps involves processing because the GPS uses a different type of map file than Basecamp. Click File > New > Waypoint to select the New Waypoint tool. Birdseye simply involves copying files to the GPS. The 4.2.2 version was completely unstable on the new iMac, so after a web search I found out there had been several updates since 4.2.2. I have not heard about any problems with Birdseye in Basecamp 4.7.0.

#Garmin basecamp 4 update

Ironically, I did not receive any notice on the earlier version of BC (4.2.2) that an update was available, even after selecting Check for Updates. Seems to have become a bit more stable now, however I have not tried to connect a Garmin device and upload routes. Within the first 15 minutes of use BC crashed four times. This is not an improved at all, Garmin only removed features and introduced a serious bug: Maps that were installed within the windows register (by installer or setup.exe) and are transferred to the GPS with Garmin's Mapinstall, are not readable on the GPS So do not update to 4. But, BaseCamp is still about as slow as it was on my ten year old iMac. After years, Garmin has released a new version of Basecamp, 4.7.0. (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. 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.
