The MS S&T that I have came as a program you install on your computer. For route planning I find it easier to use than Garmin Basecamp and it is compatible with Garmin GPS units.
I can understand that it appears BaseCamp is the most difficult to use of the four I listed, but I wonder as I originally asked how S&T compares to MapSource or MapQuest and all four are compatible with Garmin GPS units.
I'm just now learning some of the ins and out of Basecamp, but one feature that could be interesting is that it seems that if you left click on a location on the map it gives you a pop up window with all the POIs in that area (size is unknown) and it appears the list for CGs is very extensive and include things like WMs, Military FamKamps, Local City/County camping facilities, etc. I haven't gotten into trying to use it a lot and have basically just been playing with it to see if for me it would be worth using vs. the MapSource I now use.
