Uninstalling Mapset Also Wiped Out BC

C14_Rider 1 day ago

I had something happen yesterday that hasn’t happened before in 20 years of using Basecamp. I usually keep the latest and next-to-latest mapsets on my W11 PC. Yesterday I noticed I still had 3 mapsets installed as seen in settings/apps/installed apps. So I uninstalled the 3^rd oldest, which I hadn’t used or selected in BC for ages. Then went to open BC, and the shortcut didn’t work. Found no BC program file installed via installed apps or in the folder where it had been located. So it appears the uninstall of the maps also wiped out BC! I went to Garmin, downloaded the latest BC available there. When I activated the .exe to install it, it gave only an option to uninstall. I finally did so, and after that, the install worked fine and all is back to normal.

Any idea why uninstalling a mapset would have wiped out BC?

Which map was this and how did you uninstall it?

Well I'm currently actively using CNNA NT 2026.1, and also have 2025.2 installed. So I'm guessing it must have been 2025.1, though since it's gone now I'm not sure how I would confirm that. I uninstalled it at Settings/Apps/Installed Apps, selected the three dots for "more options" next to those maps and clicked "uninstall" there. That's they same way I've been uninstalling superseded maps for many years, although previous versions of Windows had slight variations of the action names.

If so I've never had it delete BaseCamp.

Yes, exactly that. I haven't had it happen either. I'll be installing the latest maps in the next month or so, and will probably delete the least recent one. We'll see if it happens again.

Good luck. Suspect it won't.
