Warning

This is beta software, or an early peak at an incomplete product. We value your input, so we are providing this to you so that you can send us your comments and ideas. We have tested this beta version extensively, but that doesn't mean that there won't be bugs. Use at your own risk.

Notes

1. Please backup your existing data from BC 3.1 before running the beta.
2. The beta build requires you to allow Garmin to collect statistics on how you use BaseCamp to help us improve the application. This will be optional for the release of BaseCamp 3.2, but it is a required condition for using the beta.
3. Activity profiles are still a work in progress, in particular migrating existing routing options.
4. We have had intermittent success testing BirdsEye Select because of some oddities with the servers. Please let us know your experience.

Dat gaan we eens proberen

Volgens deze versie van BaseCamp heb ik geen Birds Eye account (eindigd 16 juni) meer, morgen eens mailen naar Garmin.

Dus als je een BE account hebt, laat deze beta maar even voor wat het is.

Deze Beta is niet zo erg goed en er blijken wat misverstanden bij garmin zelf te zijn.


It only took me 5 minutes to realize this new version is a total piece of @$#%.

Edited to add:
A call to Garmin has them reproducing the problem and totally perplexed. I say again, unless you love frustration do NOT download this version.

Edited again to add:
The support crew at Garmin has told me their guess is it's a beta for Mac and that this version has not yet been released for Windows. They had me roll back to 3.1.3 and everything works fine. They were pretty much clueless on the whole thing. I tried to explain that Mac software wouldn't install and work on a PC but they seem to think otherwise. Total cluster-f.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS UPDATE.

Het zal ook eens EEN keer goedgaan en als we afraden een beta te installeren op een Gps wordt er gevraagd waarom.

Deze beta staat inderdaad NIET op de Garmin-site (daar staat ie alleen voor de Mac). De link staat op het Garmin-forum. Als je op de link aan het begin van deze draad klikt lees je als eerst:

Bovenstaand lezend heb ik m'n twijfels bij het woord 'extensively'.
Maar tegelijk is "an early peak at an incomplete product" een uitstekende omschrijving.

Gelukkig wordt deze beta versie naast je andere BaseCamp geinstalleerd.

Op het garmin forum stond ook al een melding dat de birdseye subsciption niet meer werkte.
Ik heb er nog maar een bij gezet.

De conversie van route naar track werkt tot nu toe goed, alleen als je hem op de sd kaart wilt hebben dan moet je hem eerst naar de gps zelf sturen en dan verplaatsen.
Rechtstreeks naar de sd kaart zenden geeft een foutmelding.

Een route maken met de beta versie en OSM routable van Gorinchem naar Eindhoven lukte mij niet door twee punten aan te wijzen (kreeg een rechte lijn), had er toch een stuk of tien voor nodig.
In mapsource was het geen enkel probleem. (in basecamp 3.1.3 heb ik het nooit geprobeerd)

De beta versie start wel veel sneller op dan mijn 3.1.3 versie.
