onetimeoneplace Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I got a copy of Garmin TOPO 2008 today. But, I can't get the maps to show in MapSource. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment
+coggins Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 (edited) Not a lot of info presented, do you have the DVD version and are trying to install the software on your computer? Edited December 25, 2008 by coggins Quote Link to comment

I have the DVD version and I am trying to install the maps to MapSource on my computer so I can upload them to my eTrex Legend HC. Problem is, I can't find a way to install the maps.

onetimeoneplace Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 Also, even when I move the MapSource folder to the drive with the TOPO maps on it, the drop-down list doesn't appear asking me what map I want to load. Quote Link to comment
+The Yinnies Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I had to call Garmin and they fixed it for me. Quote Link to comment
Neos2 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Are you running a 64-bit OS? You may need to install an update from Garmin. Quote Link to comment
onetimeoneplace Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 I have MapSource 6.14.1 Quote Link to comment
+coggins Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 (edited) I have MapSource 6.14.1 Oh, I think that's the buggy beta version that they never fixed. You would mot likely have to edit the Windows registry entry for the maps to point to the correct drive where you installed the TOPO maps. It's probably looking for them on C: Edited December 25, 2008 by coggins Quote Link to comment
