[QUOTE="RedTitan, post: 1223578, member: 87570"] Basecamp is great. When I first installed it, I had a large library of .gdb files from trips I wanted to preserve and eventually, re-ride. I was NOT HAPPY that Garmin chose to eliminate the standard "FILE|OPEN|SAVE|SAVE AS" interface in favor of a single database using 'Collections'. I found it to be unnecessarily crowded, clumsy, and was a bit concerned that ALL my riding history and plans were in one file. I admit to a bit of paranoia but files do get corrupted and I don't like have all my eggs in one basket. A couple of years ago, I wrote a simple Basecamp launcher that allowed me to manage all my individual trip files in the same Windows standard way that Mapsource used. I now have a standard installer built for it and a simple set of notes regarding it's features and use. If you are interested, PM me and I'll send you a link to download. I call the program BaseMaps. If you like it and continue to use it, then pay it forward and make a contribution to this site. I am the COO of a 30 year old software company and know what I'm doing. This is a very simple and non-intrusive program. Basecamp works just fine with it. Downloads, upgrades, exports ... everything you do in Basecamp ... is unaffected. [/QUOTE]
