There is a youtube from me showing that it is working on a full Windows 8 tablet.īut honestly, please buy an Android tablet, GPS is includes and works very good, use programs like OSMAND, ORUXMAPS, Viewfinder, TwoNav, etc, with offline maps on the tablet and still you can use BaseCamp on a Mac/Wndows computer to plan trips and send the tracks to these programs using dropbox or e-mail. Old product nRoute from Garmin did this, and does still work on Windows 8.1, probably 10 as well, but i did not tried this. I'd appreciate any help.before I go buy a tablet.īaseCamp is for planning not for showing your location on a map. Knowing where I am and where my waypoints for POI would be very handy. I have begun drawing "tracks" instead of "routes" as a track downloaded to my Zumo 660 never moves. I would be very helpful in knowing where I am at any time. So if I have BaseCamp running on a tablet, and the USB GPS receiver plugged into the tablet.does BaseCamp have the capability of showing the track live?

I am owner of a new Polaris General Deluxe side-by-side for my off roading activities.

So this may have been addressed before, but I didn't have much luck finding it.
