Hello Michael,
Thanks you for your emails, which surprised me while I was enjoying your help at the same time.
Unfortunately, it took me until today to send you a reply.
Yes, after I had discovered the software BaseCamp for a more intensive browsing on GPS and installed it on my PC, your manual has certainly made it a lot easier to apply and use the basics of this software.
The layout of this manual and documentation was very helpful to me! – A successful design in which I am not missing anything.
The Data management and access to the data (tracks, routes, …) are now a lot easier in BaseCamp than I was used to when using MapSource, and thereforeI have created the data management directly in BaseCamp.

Hello Michael,
There is nothing to thank me for. Although nothing in life is obvious! I looked at the BASE CAMP Hand-book (the text), and find it very helpful in the planning and application of GPS data. The text is well written and easy to understand and implement. Of course it makes sense to take the knowledge presented in an “appetizers way”, but is quite feasible, because paper is so patient.
So in a nutshell:
Since you have created a good and useful Book for a reasonable price and made it available to interested parties and GPS freaks!
Again – THANK YOU.
And if there is something new in this direction, please let me know!
With kind hiking regards, Paul

Hello Michael,
I just started my involvement with the book. I printed out everything. What I’ve read so far, however, is great and has really helped me out. Tips and tricks about the background of various menu items help tremendously to understand BaseCamp better.
A lot fo thing about BaseCamp could use a more user-friendly design. It is a bit stale.
But that would be up from Garmin. (For example, the left-and right-moving with the Logitech mouse wheel left / right switches, etc.) We all just become so demanding, right.
So thank you again for this great book and if I find something that is worth mentioning, you’ll get an email from me.

About The Author
Michael Bloemeke has been active outdoors since his childhood. Growing up on the outskirts of a village in southern Germany, nature was never far away. The desire to travel and to orient himself and navigate ourished with an increasing activity radius.
With his four wheel truck he went through southern European back country, over exposed alpine roads from the world wars to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco.
Canoe trips on lakes, rivers and salt water and hiking on foot even in the winter with snowshoes, brought more adventures and experiences.
Meanwhile, the long-time dream of owning a sailing boat came true, which posed new navigational challenges.
Since he was in contact with GPS and users since 1995, he offers seminars to learn planning trips an navigate with GPS. So when Garmin brought up BaseCamp, he wrote a book to introduce his clients in the use of BaseCamp. First the book was written in german, later it was translated into englisch.

Peters opinion about the Base Camp Manual:
Hello Michael,
I answer a bit late, because my PC had a HD crash. Now the system is running again and also the Garmin topo maps could be reactivated. So far, so good.
Well, I have this Base Camp Handbook bought, thinking: for a Pdf file a juicy price. Now that I have read something into it, I see that it’s more than a few drought-written pages. Many still unknown for me, applications, tips and notes are shown, which I find very useful.
Unfortunately I do not have the time to concern myself intensively. So I slowly work my way through the manual and try to apply the demonstrated capabilities in practice.
As far as I entered, I would like to say: It is a good buy, the Base Camp Handbook brings me something and is worth its price.
Otherwise I thank you for the nice contact, wish you and your families a “Good Time”, “Happy Holidays” and “A Happy New Year”.

2014-11-13I paid for Version 3.3.3 (in August 2014 I think) and haven’t finished reading it yet.
Now you have released an update – do I have to buy it again please?
Thank you,

2014-11-14Michael, I’ve found that the manual is full of info that I was unaware of. It has been quite useful. There are some awkward phrasings in the English translation but nothing that can’t be worked out. I think I’ll find it useful for some time to come.

2014-11-16Thank you, Sam. I am glad that the BaseCamp Manual was helpful to you.

2014-11-24Hi Michael,
First of all my apologies for not getting back to you earlier. Kind of busy here…
Wel, the first impressions are very good indeed. Because of being too busy I have not done very much yet but the first attempts to use the software (by following the manual) are succesful. The one thing I have appreciated a lot is a decent explanation of the various ‘units’ in the software. Most of us do know that Microsoft Word is about text (well hopefully so) and that Navigation software is about … well navigation.
However, not knowing the difference between waypoints, tracks and routes is a handicap to start with. I found it very useful to read about those before even starting to use the software. The manual clearly demonstrates that the author – yourself in other words – has taken the time to look into the head of the first time reader/user.
Excellent work but have not had the chance to fully dig into it. Dark and cold wintermonths are on their way so it won’t be long anymore.
Best regards from sunny (it is actually!) Belgium,
Pascal.

2015-05-12I bought your manual in 2012 and found it wasn’t Mac friendly, the versions have diverged even more as of 2015. Do I buy a new version or update the old?
Thanks
