Loading MapSource Topo Maps to OS X

[+gcortes]

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

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.

All you need is Garmin's MapConvertor:

You would probably be better off loading updated more detailed Topo maps that are free from, GPS File Depot

Thanks, that looks like the ticket. Now to see if my old PC will still boot.

I just use my Garmin for hiking. Would the additional detail be useful in that regard?

Absolutely.

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.
