Change History
Changes made from version 4.7.4 to 4.7.5:
Various stability and bug fixes

I wonder if this minor fix is to cure the major issue that we have been experiencing.

eg routes transferred from Basecamp get wiped at the next transfer.
Routes transferred from Basecamp have the names of route points changed
Routes transferred from Basecamp are prone to get stuck in a RUT. Routes created on the XT using the same points, are not.

I will be looking at this with some interest, and I will make sure I keep my previous installation files to compare.

Thanks @Stu Fingers crossed.

I think you was meant to tag @sussamb

Oops. Sorry @sussamb . Tagged belatedly.

Could this update be related with the new XT2?

Anything is possible but unlikely

The new XT2 info says that it does not connect to Basecamp, so I doubt it !

I'll see if I can find where I read it.

Mistery solved. Thanks.

Apparently, (I don't know), the message appears and then it connects. But what it does with the data when you try to send it from BC, I wouldn't know. Nor do I want to find out.
