This release does not support XP.

Installation of this version will overwrite your previous BaseCamp installation.

Here are the changes made in this version:
Fixed several issues when using the Pan Tool and the key to move route points
Fixed autorouting issue where straight line segments were inserted after each waypoint
Improved track to route behavior. Now supports preserving the shape of track sections that aren't near a road.
Improved handling in situations where the computer is low on memory
Changed displayed route times to take layovers into account
Fixed issue with 'higher education' map symbols showing up as airports
Fixed certain instances of route direction text where the text was 'turn left/right' instead of 'bear left/right'
Fixed issue when recalculating a route via the context menu in the data list
Fixed various issues sending data to memory cards
Changed to automatically unlock BirdsEye for a device when sending the BirdsEye to a card in that device
Fixed various issues with Adventure search
Fixed issue sending ADM files to cards for marine devices
Added the command line option /Disable3D to disable the 3D view in BaseCamp. This was added to prevent startup issues with misbehaving graphics drivers.

2D vs 3D

I see the Change:

Added the command line option /Disable3D to disable the 3D view in BaseCamp. This was added to prevent startup issues with misbehaving graphics drivers.

I'm not sure about Mac folks, but for PC folks, when you go to Start/AllPrograms/Garmin, you see that you can start BaseCamp in 3D mode or 2D mode. If you find that clicking a BaseCamp icon to start BaseCamp brings you into 2D mode while your PC can handle 3D, you may need to alter the action initiated when clicking the BC icon.

Don't ask me more about this because I still tend to use the old Mapsource even though I do keep and update BC.

Thank you..!!

Thank you to share with us this update.
