+gcortes Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I finally got around to loading BaseCamp to my Mac Mini. It works fine with my ancient Garmin 60csx. When I bought it, I also got MapSource United States Topo Maps. Is there any way to load them to BaseCamp? I still have the PC I originally installed them on. Thanks for any help, Curt Quote Link to comment

Thanks for any help, Curt I am not absolutely sure about this, as I have not tried it myself, but you may be able to use JaVaWa GMTK on your PC to make a backup of all installed maps, then transfer that backup file to your new Mac Mini and use JaVaWa GMTK again to restore the backup file. Maybe worth a try. Edited November 28, 2012 by Atlas Cached Quote Link to comment

+Walts Hunting Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Depending on how long you got it it may be MAC compatible. Some of my Garmin disks say both on them so check tthat firs. Quote Link to comment
