Basecamp and Google earth download

I lost my copy of basecamp and to get it to work I have to have my Garmin Nav 6 plug in. Where can I download a version the will work with basecamp?

I have windows 8.1 and your program requires Win 10. My bad luck.

Wonder why you are still on 8.1.

It takes a ridiculous amount of time writing and supporting these apps. So, it's hard to justify supporting "ancient" versions of Windows. I'm not sure if MS even allows programs like mine in the 8.1 store. It didn't allow them in the 10 store before April 2019 unless you were a company and paid $250/year.

Not knowing crap about computers I was having problems and took it into Office Depot a few months ago and they couldn't fix it and re installed my operating system with Windows 8.1. I had quite a time using it and just thought it was setup wrong. So just recently I find out I have the old version. I will talk to them next week but I think I'm screwed. Thanks for the reply.

They probably used the same version the computer came with.

You can probably still get a free upgrade to 10 if you look. It's easy to upgrade from 7 (8.1 should be as easy).

Thanks for letting me know to upgrade to windows 10. I most have done it before and forgot. Now I will try to use the Basecamp to GE program.

The Microsoft Store installs it as part of downloading it. The Get button changes to Launch. If you search in the Microsoft Store for a program you already have you'll also see the Launch button.

You should see a BC2GE item in your start menu or you can use the search button (or Cortana) and search for BC2GE.

Note that you have to run BC2GE separately from BaseCamp. (You can also have BC2GE open BaseCamp when it runs, so you can launch both with launching one thing).

When you run BC2GE you should see the window shown in Screenshots on my webpage about BC2GE.
