Install bought map on PC for Basecamp

Former Member over 8 years ago

Hi there

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I just cannot find a solution (very annoying, because it seems to be such a simple thing).

I got the Zumo 595LM with pre-installed City Navigator Europe 2017. In additon to this map, I also bought the Map "City Navigator® Morocco NT" and installed it on the Zumo. While the Zumo is connected to Basecamp, I can use both maps.

But in order to do route planning without connected Navi, I need to install also the new Morocco map on the PC.

While it was no problem with the Europe map using Garmin Express to install the map on the PC, it seems not to be possible with the second map (morocco). In Garmin Express I cannot chose the maps I want to install, it always only installs the Europe map on the PC.

Based on the discussion in the forum I also tried it with a virtual folder in Windows 8 in which I copied the IMG of the morocco map from the Zumo (together with the gma and uml files), but Basecamp does not recognize this either.

I feel so stupid and frustrated now, please help with any hint.

Thanks a lot!

Seems to be a problem only on my "main"-Notebook. On the travel notebook it works perfectly. I re-installed basecamp on the main-Notebook but without success. But anyhow, as long as it works on the travel notebook, I'm fine.

Just in case someone might read this, that's how I did it (Windows 10, but should work with older versions too):

I created a virtual disk drive (important: must act as removable drive and be formatted with FAT32) with "ImDisk Virtual Disk Driver". In a folder "Garmin" I copied the *.img file with the map, no other files. That's it. Basecamp can use the map.

Here's the link to the description and download link for ImDisk: www.javawa.nl/virtualdevice.html

There I also learned how to automatically create a handy batch file, which mounts the virtual drive including the map (so you don't have to do it manually every time you want to use basecamp with this map after a windows restart).
