Track / Route properties box do not open. (Basecamp 4.7.2)

I can no longer open the route properties box. I used to simply double-click the route in a "My Collections" list, and it would pop up. I could then add, delete, and re-order the waypoints, as well as set arrival, departure, and layover times. Then all of sudden it simply stopped working. I reinstalled Basecamp (4.7) but that didn't help. If I right click the route and select "Open", nothing happens. How do I open the properties box? 

I have the same problem, even after I upgraded to 4.7.2.

I found this question in the forum with the following answer: See my reply to your other post, please avoid posting duplicate posts as it simply causes confusion .

Where is the other post? There is no link, I can't find it with search.

  • Not sure if this will help but try clearing the BaseCamp caches.


    C:\Users\[yourusername]\AppData\Local\Garmin\BaseCamp\CardPrductCache
    C:\Users\[yourusername]\AppData\Local\Garmin\BaseCamp\PrductDataCache
    C:\Users\[yourusername]\AppData\Local\Garmin\BaseCamp\TileCache

    Do it with BaseCamp closed, then relaunch BaseCamp

    Unfortunately, that didn’t help.

     After that I deinstalled Basecamp, removed all the directories I could find from Basecamp (Program files , AppData) and then installed Basecamp again,  but that didn’t help either.

    Maybe there is something wrong in the registry.    

  • If there is I have no idea what, sorry

    I installed an older version (452) , that one worked well. version 462 works wel  to but in version 470 and higher I can't open the track or rout properties. Dat is on my Windows-7 computer. on my Windows 10 computer 472 works well. 

    I think I mis some essential files on my windows-7 computer. So, I think I stay with Version 462. Slight smile 

  • I came here because I had the same problem on version 4.73. I now see that because I have two monitors the route properties window was on the other screen. It never hurts to check the basics.

  • my version 4.7.3 just started doing the same thing on my windows 10 laptop. After reading your experience, I don't feel inclined wasting the entire day trying make Garmin software perform. Interestingly (but unsurprisingly), I have a windows 10 desktop with Basecamp 4.0.0 still operating. It seems to work ok, even after I transferred some recent tracks from the windows 10 laptop to the desktop. Now, if I just hold my breath and Garmin leaves my desktop alone, I might get a couple of months of a working Basecamp until I DON'T have a working Basecamp. I don't expect much help from Garmin.
