[BaseCamp] Session Today

[saddlesore904 at comcast.net]

Thanks. 

So the 2 "views" appear to give you a choice between more map features or more data features. I'll play around and see if changes made in one view are saved in the other one. 

I guess I could get used to the data view, but like to have scroll and zoom buttons of the map view. visible. 

Hopefully some Basecamp guru will comment about it's features compared to ez-bake. I may see Tim Masterson in a few weeks and will quiz him (again) over some BBQ.

Larry, 

Good Questions. I'll respond in-line.

I can find the sort feature under the view tab and the icons at top and bottom corners of the box on left where waypoints are listed, BUT I cannot find the other columns .......Lat Lon, Elevation, etc. I want to insert rally point values in place of elevation as we where shown today. I've been using ez-bake to create more meaningful names once issued a rally pack. I'm not very good with excel and the process is cumbersome with opportunities for errors at every turn.. If I flip screen views to the one Maura uses the addl fields show up. Can I see this addl sort data in the default screen view ??? 
It appears from my testingthat one has to have the same view as Maura 
for that data to show up.The data view seems to enable the display of 
the additional data in the columns. It's worth noting that while in the 
Map View (my normal default view and looking at the route properties 
tab), clicking on the "More Info" tab at the bottom of the route box, 
provides some additional very helpful information like Distance, Time, 
Total Distance, Total Time, Course, and Position. 

* 
Can Basecamp duplicate or otherwise produce similar output to ez-bake ?? If so, I would PAY and fly to the left coast for such training. 50 others would probably join me. 

I don't have ez-bake, so I can't comment.

The alternate method is to do the following: 

1. With a route displayed on the screen, select the hand tool from the 
toolbar. 
2. Hold down the ALT key and click on the route and drag it to where 
you want it. 
3. Release the ALT key and the revised route with a new shaping point 
will appear.
