    Well as well as being patient let's not jump the gun ... While it's possibly a Garmin error it may turn out to be something else. A few folks reporting a problem isn't conclusive proof that BC is at fault.

    If you are getting the Windows Registry error when trying to send data to a device use the Reset feature in BaseCamp to resolve the issue.

    1. Open BaseCamp
    2. Click Edit menu
    3. Click Options
    4. Click General icon
    5. Click Reset button

    This takes a few settings back to Default but none of the data will be lost.

    I downloaded BaseCamp 4.4.1. When an attempt is made to download a route, an error pop-up screen occurs that says "BaseCamp has encountered an error accesssing the Window's Registry. Please contact BaseCamp Support..... When you exit out of the error popup window, BaseCamp closes.

    This is on a Windows 8.1 system.

    Anyone else encountering this error, and if so, any solutions?


    Yes, I created a new route and uploaded it to my NUVI 2597, it worked fine. My wife wanted me to add another Waypoint to the trip. I opened up BaseCamp and got a message a new version, 4.4.1, was available, so I downloaded and installed it. I then proceeded to add the new WayPoint to the route. Upon completion, I went to send it to the 2597 and I got the registry error message. I then uninstalled BaseCamp, rebooted the computer, and re-installed it. It still gave me the error message. I tried it several more times and it continued to give the error message.

    I went onto work on something else, and came back to it about an hour later, and tried it again. This time it worked fine and sent the revised route to my 2597. No idea why it wouldn't work the first time, but was fine about an hour later.

    Add me to the list, a couple of days ago I loaded BC to tidy up some tracks and load them onto the Montana.

    BC said update time, so did that. Subsequently, it crashed when trying to send the tracks to the device, ie Montana. Drag and drop does nothing. Everything else seems normal. I also updated the Montana firmware just in case, but still crashes. Error says can't write to registry. Export is OK, I haven't tried to import to the device which I thought about later.

    After exporting, I used my laptop, imported and without updating BC, got the job done.

    Windows 8 ver 6.3 Build 9600 FWIW.

    I reported this to Garmin, but no response as yet.

    On another forum this has been posted:

    There is a problem with this release in the way it's creating routes. If I make a new Route in a lot of cases from the first point to the next intersection it will draw a straight line. Also sometimes in the middle of a Route if I put a point on a road it will follow a straight line to the next intersection. Sometimes instead of a straight line to the intersection it will be straight to a curve in the road and then follow the road If I have a point before and after intersections and none on the section giving the problem it seems to work OK.

    That user was using the CN NA map but I can also recreate the problem with the CN EU map, so it appears there is an issue with this release of Basecamp.

    No routing problems with Topo Aus/NZ, so far.

    Yes, it's not an obvious problem as I failed to duplicate it the first time but it definitely is an issue. See this screenshot. If I send the trip to my nuvi it displays it correctly along the road, so clearly a Basecamp issue.

    Hi to all,
    I need a little help:

    I tried to install BC 4.4.1 version, but failed. The extractor worked 5 seconds, after this stopped at all. No Garmin processes in the task manager at all.

    And unfurtunately, after this operation the previously installed BC 4.3.5 did not work as well.
    Clean install (windows uninstall + manually deleted BC folder + reinstall from original .exe) did not help.
    No BC at all.

    Any suggestions how to solve this prob?

    config: Win 7 64 bit, i 5, 8 MB RAM

    I'd say this resets more than just "a few settings back to Default". It pretty much resets the whole user interface and all user preferences.

    Users may want to backup their settings beforehand. Copy this file somewhere before the Reset:

    C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\GARMIN_Corp\BaseCamp.exe_Url_XYZ\4.4.1.0\user.config

    where XYZ is some alphanumeric string.

    PS: Curt is correct that no user data is lost but those using custom BC database location(s) will need to point to those again since the default (and probably empty) location will be set.
