+coggins Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) Notes: Important steps for future BaseCamp Compatibility: If you are a user of BaseCamp now, or plan to be in the future, you must follow these steps to ensure your data is protected during this software update: Connect your handheld unit to a computer and launch BaseCamp. Transfer all tracks, routes and waypoints to BaseCamp. Delete the /Garmin/GPX folder from the handheld's mass storage. Update the handheld's software via WebUpdater and reboot the handheld. Reconnect the handheld to a computer and transfer your data from BaseCamp back to the handheld. Change History Changes made from version 4.50 to 4.70: Added support for advanced geocache logging with OpenCaching.com. See TrailTech (http://garmin.blogs.com/softwareupdates/2011/08/advanced-geocache-logging-with-opencachingcom.html) for more information. Fixed issue with multilingual custom POI files Edited August 19, 2011 by coggins Quote Link to comment
+elkein Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Okay, a definite improvement on the paperless log, I'll see how it imports into geocaching.com after work, anything else in this firmware update? Quote Link to comment
Grasscatcher Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Actually, isn't it already up to ver 4.80? Quote Link to comment
+dfx Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Yeah, they must've botched something in 4.70. Quote Link to comment
+coggins Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 Actually, isn't it already up to ver 4.80? It wasn't at the posting of this topic. I couldn't restore my GPS data after the update to v4.70, just the waypoints, tracks hung BaseCamp... Quote Link to comment
fujitsu Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Hi, Is this only valid for x50 versions? And for x00 versions and for Dakota? Does anyone know something? Thanks Quote Link to comment
+elkein Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Yes by the time I got to it last night it was version 4.8 I was a little concerned on reboot after the update it errored and said too many geocaches loade... but then it loaded anyhow. I have about 7000 geocaches in there, and have heard that other members have much more than that. Regardless subsequent reboots don't error out. Quote Link to comment

If you try to load more than that, it will skip/drop some of them. Quote Link to comment
