Basecamop Database Movement

I need to move my database to another user on the same laptop, I copied everything under:
C:\Users\<username1>\AppData\Local\Garmin\BaseCamp
C:\Users\<username1>\AppData\Roaming\Garmin\BaseCamp

to the equivalent folders:
C:\Users\<username2>\AppData\Local\Garmin\BaseCamp
C:\Users\<username2>\AppData\Roaming\Garmin\BaseCamp

everything seems ok, but when I open the custom maps, they show empty, with the tiles appearing with ??? marks

what do I need to do to make sure the custom maps are carried over and I dont have to import them again?

Not sure but why not use JaVaWa's program GMTK to move your maps?

I am afraid that program would be useful to transfer the installed "img" vector maps, but not the custom maps (a.k.a. kml image overlays or raster maps)

It'll move raster maps also, not kml files though AFAIK. I'd transfer them to a usb stick then reimport them directly into a folder in Basecamp.

No, it doesn't do custom maps, only installed "img" maps.

It moves my raster maps, which are .img files. What I meant was it won't move 'custom maps' as defined by Garmin, hence my comment about transferring them via a USB stick.
