The Garmin BaseCamp application was developed to be a powerful tool that provides an interface for viewing Garmin map products and managing geographic data.

Using the Map
The basic map contains major cities, roads, and highways. Other map products contain additional information, such as streets, addresses, points of interest, or topographical information. Map data only appears if a map product is installed, unlocked, and selected.

Working with BirdsEye Imagery and Garmin Custom Maps
You can download or import additional map information, called "overlays," which can be displayed on the map. You can save overlays on your computer or on a compatible Garmin device. You can work with overlays in the same manner as other data, including transferring overlays to and from compatible Garmin devices and organizing overlays using lists.

Working with Waypoints
A waypoint is a favorite location that you mark on the map. It can be an address, an existing map feature, a point of interest, or any other point on the map. You can use waypoints to mark places like your home, a camp site, or a favorite scenic point.

Working with Routes
BaseCamp can calculate routes between two or more waypoints. BaseCamp shows routes as colored lines on the map. You can create routes in BaseCamp or transfer them from a Garmin GPS device.

Working with Filtered Routes
A filtered route follows a path that you draw on the map. When calculating a filtered route, BaseCamp automatically generates waypoints that are not saved in the Library and Devices area. You can use the route options to change the number of waypoints in a filtered route.

Working with Tracks
A track consists of a series of connected points that contain position and elevation information. You can transfer tracks created on your Garmin GPS device into BaseCamp. Tracks can be viewed on the map. You can also create and edit tracks on the map.

Managing Your Data
BaseCamp stores saved waypoints, routes, and tracks in the Library and Devices area. The Library and Devices area appears on the left side of the BaseCamp window. The Library and Devices area consists of two panes. The upper pane displays lists and connected devices. The lower pane displays the contents of the selected list or device.
