If you are frequently taking or planning trips, a GPS device is a valuable companion that can keep you on the right track. However, planning trips can be a challenging task when you need to handle multiple waypoints on a rather small screen. BaseCamp utility is designed to work with your Garmin maps in order to survey the area and plan your trip by taking into consideration all the locations that you want to visit.

In order to create a new route, you just need to enter your waypoints and select the locations that you want to use. You can fine-tune the route by selecting the types of road, transportation, and speed limits to accurately calculate the duration. After creating the waypoints and the route, the application can help you transfer the data to the Garmin GPS for use during the trip.

The program integrates the Garmin Adventures feature that allows you to share routes and comments with other users. You can also download satellite imagery from the Internet to add them to the maps installed on your device. The interface is well-organized and provides quick access to all the important features.

BaseCamp is a must-have tool that can help you take advantage of multiple resources when planning a trip. However, it is designed for Garmin GPS owners since you need to install at least one map before creating routes.
