This might go along with what the OP is asking but is there a way to have google earth over layed on the base camp screen?

Not GE in BaseCamp, but you can call GE from BaseCamp and have it "Show Selected Objects".  IE you can select a track or waypoints and have them show up in GE.

OK Guys I am missing something. (OP another member)??  (GE from BaseCamp)= google earth?? Like I said I am new to this so please be patient while I learn. Thanks guys. Zrt

I reinstalled it and now I can get Google earth in basecamp. I have another question now. Is there any way to over lay the trails on to the Google earth map?? Thanks. Zrt

OK, I uninstalled it and was going to reinstall it and notice there is a couple different versions. There is Google Earth for Desk Top, Google Earth View, And Google Earth Plug In. Which one should I install?? Thanks guys. I really appreciate the help. Here's there link.

Indrid Cold, What I meant it was listed in the tool bar under view but it still did not come up?? Sorry for the confusion. Any Idea as to why it says I have to load it??

I went back and looked at it. It is in the tool bar under view.

Yesterday I uploaded basecamp to my pc and today I uploaded Great Lakes Offroad Map Map from here. I am just learning so please be patient with me. But some where I seen Google earth while I was in basecamp and it said I have to upload it?? I have Google earth already installed on my pc. Do I need to install this into basecamp?? and if yes. How?? Thanks Every one. Zrt

Thanks Indrid Cold. I am sure I will have questions and it is great that I know I can ask for advice here. Zrt

HI Guys, At age 51 am I not totally new to GPS but sense my last gps was 12 years old and only did way points I am basically new to this and I am not a computer whiz either. Anyways I overheard my wife saying I am getting a Garmin Oregon 450 for Christmas and I need to get up to speed on these new GPS.  I will be using this GPS for Hunting, Snowmobiling, Kayaking, And I am going to try geocaching as it sounds like a good family outing. I have been reading this and other forums and I see I can download all sorts of things. From what I have read I should get use to BaseCamp for mapping on the Oregon?? So where do I start??
