Interchange information like routes, tracks and waypoint between tablets, phones and Garmin equipment, is not designed very well by Garmin, will work using Garmin Connect website and there Apps, but Garmin is very conservative on this point. If you choice is an apple tablet, be sure to buy a version with cellular (3G) otherwise there is no GPS available, also lots of programs available. The most simple approach and you only need one cable for power. There is a youtube from me showing that it is working on a full Windows 8 tablet.īut honestly, please buy an Android tablet, GPS is includes and works very good, use programs like OSMAND, ORUXMAPS, Viewfinder, TwoNav, etc, with offline maps on the tablet and still you can use BaseCamp on a Mac/Wndows computer to plan trips and send the tracks to these programs using dropbox or e-mail. Old product nRoute from Garmin did this, and does still work on Windows 8.1, probably 10 as well, but i did not tried this. I'd appreciate any help.before I go buy a tablet.īaseCamp is for planning not for showing your location on a map. Knowing where I am and where my waypoints for POI would be very handy. I have begun drawing "tracks" instead of "routes" as a track downloaded to my Zumo 660 never moves. I would be very helpful in knowing where I am at any time. So if I have BaseCamp running on a tablet, and the USB GPS receiver plugged into the tablet.does BaseCamp have the capability of showing the track live? So I'm wondering if I can install BaseCamp on something like a Samsung Tab S2?Īnd then.when I upgraded to Topo USA 10 they included a GPS receiver. I have my Zumo 660 mounted and carry a pair of Rino 665 units with me to take geotagged pics and be able to start and stop tracks as I please.īut it would be nice to have a larger display. Garmin Serial Handhelds Legacy Garmin devices that communicate with the computer through a serial port are not compatible with BaseCamp. However, there are some specific devices that are not compatible with BaseCamp, which are listed below. For Android smartphones/tablets only the Oruxmaps app support this format. Use the regional gmap versions to install the maps directly on your computer. Basecamp can only read it from micro SD card, virtual drive or GPS internal memory. I am owner of a new Polaris General Deluxe side-by-side for my off roading activities. BaseCamp supports a wide range of Garmin devices. The GPS versions do not include an installer for Basecamp. So this may have been addressed before, but I didn't have much luck finding it.
