[BaseCamp] Saving Routes and Favorites

[John O. Cooper]

Before I leave on a trip I make sure every computer is current (I store my
BC databases on Google Drive) - this lets me access everything even in the
unlikely event I do not have internet connectivity (it happened once).  I
also stash the current database on  my mobile phones so I have lots of
copies  - almost no matter what happens.
