+oldskoolboarder Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Yeah, I know, Garmin's documentation is pretty sad. I've used Roadtrip before and with summer coming, I'm taking the cobwebs off the Legend Hcx. I noticed that there's a newer program BaseCamp. Assuming I don't use my Legend for street nav, is it better to use Basecamp? Quote
dug-it Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 It depends on what maps you use. Basecamp only works with maps with DEM data in them. Quote

dug-it Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 The Garmin TOPO series which support 3D use DEM (Digital elevation model). Quote
+coggins Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Which are DEM? BaseCamp is a 3D mapping application that allows you to transfer waypoints, tracks, and routes between your Mac and Garmin device and manage your data using topographic Garmin maps that include digital elevation model(DEM) data, such as Topo U.S. 24K, Topo U.S. 24K National Parks (version 3), Topo U.S. 100K (version 4 and later), Topo U.S. 2008, Topo Australia, Topo Canada (version 4), Topo Deutschland, Topo Great Britain, and Topo products produced by many Garmin distributors. http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=4449 Quote
