One very refreshing aspect of BaseCamp is discovering that the Development Team is now participating in the Garmin Forums. This has lead to MapSource user frustration when trying to make the shift to BaseCamp - more on this later. Although they are similar, in many ways they are very different. With the afore mentioned objectives, BaseCamp could not mearly be a renamed follow-on to MapSource. The design objective was to create a "walk-up and use" application, while still providing the necessary features needed by more experienced users.

BaseCamp for the Mac OS and Windows OS was in customer Beta-testing throughout 2010. One where the computer application would have a much closer affinity to the GPS attached to it and it's customer base. With new market driven GPS features and services as well as a need to provide planning tools for mulitple land-based user activities, required Garmin needed to take a new approach to computer based trip planning. Unfortunately, neither MapSource nor RoadTrip seemed to get the focus from Garmin that customers were looking for. To accommodate this sizable customer base, since MapSource was only available on the Windows OS, Garmin developed RoadTrip. As the number of Garmin's customers grew so did the number of Apple Mac users. But MapSource was a somewhat difficult application to just "walk up" and use.

From MapSource Trip & Waypoint Manager to the robust version of MapSource we know today.
