#USING GARMIN BASECAMP ON IPAD HOW TO#
However, once BCM is open, it seems to ignore the route, and not know how to import it to the cloud, which is frustrating. I can clearly open it in BCM from that app, or from the e-mail. Which would be nice if it actually worked correctly.įor example, I have a couple other GPS tools which allow you to share tracks made within the app via e-mail, etc. What is interesting is that BCM does seem to allow you to use it as an "Open With." target for GPX files. So the GPS doesn't just take GPX files "as is" and just do the right thing? Some kind of limitation or filtering in BCM? You can however send (email, text) photos already on the cloud that were uploaded through BaseCamp for Desktop. What's the difference between 150 MB of waypoints and 150 MB of photos? I'm not sure why but the Garmin cloud gives each user 150 MB of storage capacity. The only disappointment was that you can't do the same with photos taken on the GPS unit. A very nice feature almost like SPOT only cell-phone dependent. This will allow anyone you invite to track you real-time. There is a "Live Tracking" feature coming for the 64 and Oregon 6xx series. Of course the caveat is that you need cell phone reception. This is a game-changer for me since I can be just about anywhere and text my wife a waypoint of my location with a note like "I'm fine, be home soon". That person, working in another valley, was able to open and view that waypoint in the BaseCamp Mobile app's map which uses aerial imagery. I was also able to instantly email someone a waypoint GPX from the field.

No need to even take the GPS into work since the data was waiting for me on my computer (in BaseCamp) in the office. Even if I lost my GPS or got it stolen on the way back to the office the data was safely on the cloud.

I was able to immediately upload all of my data from my Oregon 650t first to my iPhone and then directly to the Garmin cloud. I was out collecting waypoint and tracklog data that I needed for work. I've used the new BaseCamp mobile (v3) to seamlessly upload data from a field type setting.
