csacsa Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 After installing 24K Topo for the SW. Should there be a new choice in the drop down box in Mapsource on my computer for just 24k Topo? If so, it's not there. Quote Link to comment

Mine shows up (both 24k West and Southwest) in BaseCamp but not in Mapsource. Anybody know how to get them to show up in Mapsource? Quote Link to comment
+Wogus! Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) After installing 24K Topo for the SW. Should there be a new choice in the drop down box in Mapsource on my computer for just 24k Topo? If so, it's not there.The Map Source drop-down menu shows all of my installed maps, both those I've bought from Garmin -- which includes the 24K SW TOPO maps -- and the free map sets I installed gpsfiledepot dot com so yes; I'm going to say that those maps should be showing up in your MapSource drop-down menu as well.

+Red90 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Do you have the newest Mapsource? You need the newer one (6.14 +) to see newer "style" maps. Quote Link to comment
csacsa Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Do you have the newest Mapsource? You need the newer one (6.14 +) to see newer "style" maps. Well that sucks. I've heard too many horror stories about Mapsource after ver.6.13.7. $80 bucks for nothing. Quote Link to comment
Forkeye Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Mine works OK too ,but both are probably older versions.Garmin software just seems to be getting so bad these days,I am very reluctant to buy anything from them,good luck. Quote Link to comment
+Tui Chub Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I had 6.15.6 installed which was the newest version. I went and reinstalled it and now I can see both Topo U.S. 24K Southwest and West. Quote Link to comment

I've heard too many horror stories about Mapsource after ver.6.13.7. $80 bucks for nothing. That's certainly an over reaction. Other than the known problem saving GPX files, simple workaround, I've found 6.15.6 to work very well. It has the distinct advantage of making back roads much more visible too. Quote Link to comment
