Transferring BaseCamp Data to New Database or Computer on Windows

When creating a new database in BaseCamp™ software, the new database will be empty at first and will not have any data from the default database. Using cloud storage can keep your data backed up and accessible from different computers. The steps outlined in this are for Windows-based operating systems.

NOTE: Importing data from one database to another will import the content (waypoints, routes, tracks, etc.) The import process will not import the folders the content was originally organized in.

Creating a New Database:

Select Edit on the Toolbar
Select Options
Select General
Select next to Default
Create a name for a new database
Select Browse
Select where the new database should be located
- Select Make New Folder to add a folder in the desired location (ex, BaseCamp New Database within My Documents, as shown above)
Select the OK box on both the Browse window and New Database window
Use the drop-down to select Default
Select OK
Follow the steps below for exporting and importing data before using the new database
