Synching Garmin Basecamp across multiple machines using Dropbox


As I've mentioned elsewhere I'm rather a fan of the Garmin Basecamp software. Since I've spent the last half decade or so working out of state and most trips "home" are just long enough to do laundry and grab my outdoor gear before running screaming out to the wilderness somewhere it's very useful to me to be able to access all my old GPS tracks and planning resources across multiple computers.

Basecamp is intended to work on a single machine but with a bit of trickery you can utilize Dropbox (or similar cloud services) to synch the database between multiple machines.
