Can't install maps from Basecamp

Former Member over 12 years ago

I'm trying to install some topo maps on my Oregon 550 using Basecamp. I have the maps installed on Basecamp, and they show up there. I connect my 550 and go to 'Install Maps', but nothing happens. The map installer doesn't come up. I upgraded my Basecamp to Ver 4.1.1. Anyone know what is going on? I'm pretty new, but did install a topo for MN about a month ago. The maps I have came from File Depot as did the MN one. Is there a bug that anyone knows of?

It just seems like the Map Installer is not there.

Thanks

HELP PLEASE TOO the command Install Maps is greyed out on Basecamp--it obviously has worked in past as I have insatlled soem maps, ie MTb GB OSM map which works just fine;
I have downloaded latest version Basecamp, but command is still greyed out and inactive;
How do I get to install maps onto Basecmap now ? I`m wanting to install an OSM GB contours map for walking mapping..
thanks

Which map are you trying to use? If you simply want an OSM walking map then go to www.talkytoaster.co.uk ... there are maps there that can be copied directly to your GPS or installed into Basecamp

I`m trying to get an OSM map from talkytoaster--GB map with contours---installed into basecamp but the install maps on basecamp is inactive; I`m not trying to install onto GPS as it is an etrex 10, just want a decent contour map on basecamp to do tracks / routes to transfer to etrex 10

The "Install maps" option in the BaseCamp menu cannot be used for installing maps on your computer; the sole purpose is to install maps on a device.

Installing a map on your computer is handled by the installer that comes with the map...

On the talkytoaster website there are map sets that will install into Basecamp along with instructions (ensure you read the FAQs), come back if you have any problems. I've used these maps for many years :)
