Changes in BaseCamp™ When Using BaseStation Mode

When using BaseStation mode, BaseCamp™ software will have different functions such as:

  • In BaseCamp™, the folder listed under the device will show 'BaseStation' (instead of Mass Storage).

  • Data cannot be sent to the connected device from BaseCamp™ while it is in BaseStation mode.

    • In BaseCamp™ data stored in the Mass Storage section of the associated handheld device will be inaccessible while utilizing BaseStation (for example: previously created Waypoints, Routes, Tracks, Pictures and Mapping, such as Topo 100k, will be inaccessible).

    • Waypoints, Routes and Tracks from the BaseStation folder can be transferred to other BaseCamp™ folders or lists while using BaseStation mode.

      • Updated track data will not be reflected in other folders or lists until the most up to date track information is transferred.

  • When the BaseStation folder is selected the map in BaseCamp™ will be updated automatically with the current positions of the handheld device and its available contacts.

  • Data will only be available if the BaseCamp™ is able to communicate with the connected handheld device.

  • Information will not be available for devices that do not have a GPS or GNSS signal.

  • Connected devices can only receive and display data from devices compatible with each other (for example: Astro® 320 handheld with DC™ 40 collars, Rino® radio with Rino radio, and Alpha® dog tracking handheld with Alpha handheld and TT™ 15 collars).

    • Multiple connected devices will have multiple BaseStation folders.

    • Only one BaseStation folder may be displayed at a time.
