I have an eTrex 20 and have been uploading saved tracks to my Mac via BaseCamp. My version of OS X is 10.6.8, so I'm using BaseCamp 4.2.4.
All was working well until recently. Now when I connect my eTrex and launch BaseCamp, BaseCamp imports all the tracks on the eTrex, and when I quit BaseCamp, it says it's saving my data, but in fact it isn't saving the latest information. When I relaunch BaseCamp without the eTrex connected, there are no saved tracks after last October. After that happened once today, I saved a Backup file before closing BaseCamp, but when I tried to do a Restore, it said it was an invalid file!
I just spent 20 minutes cleaning up some tracks and giving them meaningful names, and now all that work is lost. :-(
What could be causing BaseCamp not to save the data transferred from the eTrex? And why would a backup file created by BaseCamp itself not be valid? I admit to not knowing much about BaseCamp, but it used to save the transferred information just fine.
