Minor update to BaseCamp, apparently to allow it to work with some newer devices, no change in functionality as there is no further development of BaseCamp

BaseCamp software version 4.7.5
as of March 27, 2023

Download (61.93 MB) here https://www8.garmin.com/support/downloa ... 5#Instruct

Windows 7 SP1 or later is required. Machines with earlier operating systems can use BaseCamp 4.2.5.

Thank you for the feedback. It looks like I should just leave well alone and continue with version 4.7.3.

Changes made from version 4.7.3 to 4.7.4:
Fixed zumo connection issue
Various stability and bug fixes

I have no issues connecting my Zumo 660.

What are "stability and bug fixes".

I don't do PC technology and am too anxious about making changes, wouldn't want to risk losing 100's of BaseCamp routes.

Just downloaded and installed it with no issues here!

You can back things up or export them to a safe place

Open basecamp select routes so its showing all routes

Click File and export

You can then keep them somewhere safe on a usb drive or something just in case anything ever did happen :)

I've also had problems with the required .NET framework 4.6 when trying to install Garmin Express updates. MY PC man contacted Garmin on my behalf and if I remember correctly, I'd need a new version of Windows installing on my PC to resolve the issue.

I have to uninstall, then reinstall Garmin Express when updates are available.
