Folks....I'm upgrading my Windows 7 hardware and have to move Basecamp from the old Computer to the new one. Is there a process for selecting and moving files so I do not lose all of my work, Tracks, Etc?
Yes, it's fairly simple....a least for Garmin software. First, backup (not export) your database to a thumb drive. Now install BC from the Garmin website (or from the Basecamp.exe file of whichever version you may have saved on your old machine) to the new computer, then restore the data from the thumb drive into the new BC.
For all your maps, the easiest way is to download JaVaWa GMTK: http://www.javawa.nl/gmtk_en.html. Install it on both machines.
This will allow you to backup all your maps, locked or not, to the thumb drive and restore them to the new machine. Basecamp should see them all and you have just effectively cloned your old installation. Ignore the paragraph in the instructions about MapSource because BC will install from any basecamp.exe file.
