I have a ton of Garmin equipment.
I standardized on it in 1996.
I got a new laptop.
I downloaded a new copy of Base Camp.
The base map doesn't have enough detail for me to route with it.
I want to install an OSM auto map that is routable so that I can route back into the forest, as well as for better trip planning and highway use.
I have down loaded numerous copies of compressed OSM maps to my hard drive from various sources.
I have un zipped the to the cloud, the hard drive, and to usb cards, and after I extract the files, I cannot get Base Camp to recognize them.
I have watched many videos of happy travelers downloading an OSM route map, and quickly installing it via basecamp.
Any one want to take a stab at this?
The most straight forward method I saw was accessing a file stored in the Garmin\Maps\ folder, and accessing it via "maps"->"Install map products"-> (list of maps in the maps folder.)
I've tried getting the files from various sources, and one seems no better than another.
I may be missing something simple, but I'm at my wits end. Easily having spent 40 hours trying to install 1 routable map into BC.
Help!
