The reasons given below, no need for repetition, are the main reason I have Parallels Desktop installed and a Boot Camp partition.

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.

Garmin, why do you let me choose "Bicycling" as my "Activity" when you won't route me onto bike paths clearly displayed and marked as such in the City Navigator North America NT map!?!

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?

Really, really crappy user interface, worse than most web base maps nowadays. Creating routes on the computer is a pain, transferring them to the GPS, which recalculates the whole route and so on.

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

Problem still remains though:

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!

Problem STILL remains:

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!! :(

This version upgrades MapManager to version 2.1.3.1beta. 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 should not even be an issue though because the installer should be smart enough not to downgrade applications to older versions.

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.

This version downgraded my Garmin MapInstall app from 2.1.6 to 2.1.5. Suggest doing a custom install and unticking MapInstall until we get an explanation from Garmin.

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

That should probably read 2.01 but Garmin support maybe has an advance copy! ;)
