It's very confusing the way Garmin is packaging updates. This should not even be an issue though because the installer should be smart enough not to downgrade applications to older versions.

#USING GOOGLE EARTH WITH BASECAMP FOR MAC INSTALL#

When you do a custom install it does show that it will be "upgrading" MapManager and MapInstall applications but it does not indicate to what version which would allow you to unselect those applications if you already have a newer version installed to prevent an unintended downgrade. This version upgrades MapManager to version 2.1.3.1beta.

If I were to rate this for a windows device it would be 2 stars. I gave this a 4 because of the difficulty in finding addresses.

#USING GOOGLE EARTH WITH BASECAMP FOR MAC UPDATE#

The trip is not complete but I will update what I find using the MAC. Even still, I am planning a trip to Italy and so far it has been very smooth.

#USING GOOGLE EARTH WITH BASECAMP FOR MAC SOFTWARE#

You would think that there is a way for the programmers to update the software with all the people who use it to add way points or places of businesses that people have found or at least work with Google Maps. I do this in conjunction with Google Earth. A lot of destinations are not there and you have to zoom into the map to find the right spot to make a waypoint.

#USING GOOGLE EARTH WITH BASECAMP FOR MAC UPGRADE#

I recently loaded the program onto my older MAC (I had to upgrade the OS to make it work) and I am here to say, WHAT a DIFFERENCE. We set one with the hotels/B&B's and the other with the entire itinerary. We always bring two devices just in case. To date and the maps were always correct and led us exactly to where we needed to be. We have planned trips to Ireland, Germany, England, Scotland using BaseCamp. I used to use my dell laptop to plan our trips and the program took for ever to load and crashed during planning multiple times in an hour.

It is a great tool to load our international vacation trips into our Garmin GPS.

Try this google search in your area.My wife and I have used BaseCamp for several years. And some of the few cities I've gone through with poor mapping data evident also had signs of poor physical road management. To make the point (and based on some prior volunteer serving on our county planning board) our county uses state of the art GIS (Geographic Information System) not only for roads, but where every house, fire hydrant, other infrastructure is located.Ĭompanies like NAVTEC and others (map agregators) that Garmin and others buy access to this map data for further distribution to many different users.īUT if the local agency doesn't keep these type systems current, then any GPS which ultimately obtains their data from these systems is also going to be out of date. The thing I've come to realize that map reliability (or not) boils down the the government agency in the area of interest and the technology used in their planning offices. But in spite of all this I have STILL been unpleasantly surprised more than once.Īs far as Birdseye is concerned I think you are right on the mark and I wouldn't spend a dime on them.but of course they aren't made by Garmin either. My protocol is similar to his except I vet any route or track that I care about on THREE different maps in BC before checking them on GE, and only then if they are out in the boonies and I have reason to believe that they may not exist as a ride-able or drive-able road anymore. The only exception to this is the rare case where the trail simply does not exist on any map I have in BC and I have to draw it in GE as a track and import.

My experience with this is less than satisfactory and I'd rather do it the other way round. Dandeman's protocol makes more sense than trying to start with Google Earth, although it IS POSSIBLE to create routes and tracks in GE, save them as a. GARMIN DOES NOT MAKE THESE MAPS!!!!! They come from many different sources and are used by many different companies. The further off the beaten path you get, the more unreliable maps get. The reason to validate your planned route or track in Google Earth has absolutely NOTHING to do with Garmin software and EVERYTHING to do with the fact that NO map, paper or electronic, anywhere, ever, is 100% reliable. So essentially Garmin is saying "Go ahead and plan routes using our map$ and Bird$eye view but don't trust that our resources are good enough to get you where you need to go so you may want to validate your plans with a better, and free, map like Google Earth".
