All Garmin data Location on disk
Posted: Tue May 23, 2017 4:30 pm
I have only recently discovered this Forum and found it very useful. Thank you to all.
I bought my first GPSr in July 1996, a Garmin GPS-75, with PCX5 software. My third in 2004, was the SP2610, when I started to use MapSource. I transferred all my PCX5 data and my Psion Palmtop data, to MapSource. When BC was introduced, I evaluated it and rejected it.
In August 2011, I became ill and all travelling stopped. I am now sorting out my GPS and mapping files that were on a second-hand Panasonic CF-19 running Windows XP. My home PC runs W7 Pro and a recent purchase to replace my CF-19 is a Surface Pro 4 running W10 Pro.
With the help from this Forum, I've learnt that BC is the way forward and I've been setting up BC on my home PC. But like so many other programs, it dumps it's data in C:\Users all over the place, with no logical order! I organise all my computer data in a properly organised style, backed-up/synchronised across all my PCs and external backup USB drives using ViceVersa Pro.
So I want to relocate the BC data. I have read the 'AllData.gdb file' topic, but this only covers the files in ...\4.6.
Can I relocate all the folders under ...\AppData\Roaming\BaseCamp\... to my chosen location. If yes, how do I get BC to know that location?
Having setup my home PC, will I experience any problems copying files (including Nuvi map updates) from the home PC, to the SP4?
Regards,
Alan
