the problem exists with all TOPO maps in BaseCamp. It's the same behaviour like in Mapsource > 6.13.7 RoadTrip AFAIK use the cosinus of the screen center to adjust the east-west proportion (as Mapsource <= 6.13.7 did).
Is there any chance that BaseCamp will ever be compatible with existing street map products that do not have DEM.

It would be great to have all map products in one application, even if the DEM functionality of the application will be lost for a map product when there's no DEM available. Now I have to switch all the time between BaseCamp and Roadtrip, and manually sync the changes made to waypoints, tracks etc.
So I end up using Roadtrip only, because a can have all the map products in this application, but I lose 3D functionality, Google Earth connection, track inversion etc... :(
place non-DEM Maps in /Applications/Garmin BaseCamp.app/Contents/Resources
I had a similar problem where maps without DEM wouldn't show in Basecamp, so I moved *gmap to
/Applications/Garmin BaseCamp.app/Contents/Resources
and that solved the problem.
While that does work, I should point out that you should be very careful if you do that because a BaseCamp update will delete all the maps in the bundle. This could cause you to lose all those maps.
I should also point out that we will be releasing a new version of BaseCamp soon that removes the restriction on non-DEM maps and allows you to view all maps that you have installed.
Great find Espressoschwarz! Works indeed.
@Lipkowit thanks for the warning too, I just wanted to post this but you did already.
Anyway, a good temporary fix until "soon" ;)
Excellent point Lipkowit, thanks! So it's better to create a symbolic link, done easily in a Terminal. One caveat though, you have to move the maps out of the original folder, e.g. move it to 'unsupported'
