There's many a time I have opened BC and thought "Eh?" and ran back to Mapsource.

Now I am scuppered for Mapsource as I have changed my laptop for a Mac which Mapsource doesn't run on so thank you for that (thumbs)

Thanks for this Adrian - very timely for me as I have to plan and map some serious long distance routes and trails.

Here is the link for Mac: http://www.newenglandriders.org/Learn_BaseCamp_MAC.pdf

@ Diesel Pete, welcome to the Mac Club - it'll be worth it, just you wait and see (thumbs)
