Basecamp loading maps from device at startup

When I start Basecamp and connect a device (ex. Edge800) it takes (every time !) very long untill complete, sometimes half hour. In the meantime, it is possible to work in Basecamp, but all very slow :-( . In fact, I just need the tracks, routes etc. from the Edge800, not the maps. Is there any way to prevent Basecamp from loading the maps from the connected device ?

BaseCamp doesn't load maps, it simply indexes them so it can use them but it still pulls them from the device. However having indexed them, provided that's been completed, it should then be fairly instantaneous.

Same here but it “only“ takes a couple of minutes on 4-core MacBook Pro. Perhaps it helps that I install maps to both Mac and GPS on update from within Express?
