BaseCamp maps location

Hello,

I cannot figure out - where BaseCamp maps (and BirdsEye) are stored (I'm using Windows 7), in what folder? Cannot find any indications in the Options or anywhere in the application.

Thank you.

    Maps should be in C:\ProgramData\GARMIN\Maps. Basecamp files, including Birdseye should be in C:\Users\[your name]\AppData\Local\Garmin\BaseCamp

    Unless you know what you're doing, it's probably a bad idea to mess with any of this. :)

    BaseCamp maps

    Thank you.

    Sorry I wasn't correct. I didn't mean the maps themselves, I know where they are. I meant the project files. MapSource has the.gdb files stored wherever you like, I usually store them in My Garmin/Maps folder. But I cannot find where are the BaseCamp projects. Probably also somewhere in the Users folder.
  • On my windows 7 computer I find *gdb data at
    c:\user\"username"\appdata\roaming\garmin\basecamp\database\3.2
    to be able to see this, you must allow to see hidden files.

    You understand that this is a database application and the "file" you are looking for is not "just a file".

    If you want to create a file of all or part of your data in BaseCamp, select what you want and then use the File->Export function. You can then save your selected data to several file types, including GDB and GPX.

    Cheers,

    BaseCamp database

    Thank you,

    Yes, this looks correct. BaseCamp doesn't have individual project files like MapSource.
