Garmin has shown an appalling lack of commitment to the Mac user community and, now that that user base is increasing exponentially they're trying to play catch-up but are not devoting enough resources to it.
Too little too late Garmin! I want feature parody with MapSource for Windows. Garmin has massive resources, there's no excuse for this or the mess that is their cartography product line.

And how come when I asked Basecamp to check for updates today, the update check *FAILED*, yet a few hours later I see a new version posted on macupdate.com?

This software should have never passed UI design and usability checks. Unfortunately, that's not new with Garmin. I wish there was more competition.

BaseCamp 3.0.1 does not support drawing the newest BlueChart maps. It crashes every time you try to zoom in on a map.
I can't wait for an update that resolves this problem!

From bad to hell - and support stinks big time!

BaseCamp 3.0.2 does NOT support drawing the newest BlueChart maps. It does not even load the map now.
They wrote earlier in a problem report that the next release (3.0.2) should fix the problem. I guess you can't trust the Garmin developers one bit!
I'm very disappointed!! :(

It's very confusing the way Garmin is packaging updates. MapManager and MapInstall updates were released quite recently and listed on MacUpdate as separate updates but in fact both listings point to the same download/file which installs both applications, again, without indicating what version is being installed.
Like I said in my previous comment for version 3.0.1, it is very poor practice to not identify in the installer description that it will be updating or downgrading applications other than BaseCamp. I'm happy that Garmin is supporting the Mac but it wouldn't take much more effort to be clear about what these packages contain and what is going to be updated. Also, if they're going to continue bundling multiple application updates into each release without indicating as much in the name or description then make the installers smart enough to recognize when you have a newer version and don't mess with it!
Finally, I don't see in the release notes that the problem with not displaying the latest BlueChart maps has been addressed in this update.

I wish it was clearly indicated that this package installs more than just the BaseCamp application.

BaseCamp 3.0.1 does not support drawing the newest BlueChart maps. The next release should fix this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.
