Major new beta release of Basecamp

[Boyd]

Very impressive update. Garmin has certainly been listening to users. I have not tried this yet myself, so install with care since it's beta. One user in Garmin's forum's reported some issues after installing. See this thread in Garmin's forum for lots of screenshots and explanations of the new features.

BaseCamp 3.3 is here! We are starting off with an early Beta release to give everyone a chance to check out the new features and pound on it for a little bit before we release the final version.

Download it here: http://developer.garmin.com/apps/BC/BaseCamp_3.3.0.2_Beta.exe.

We have incorporated a lot of user requests from this very forum. If your desired feature/bug fix didn't make it into this release, don't hesitate to remind us.
