Issue Transfering Birdseye From Basecamp To GPSMAP62S

Former Member over 12 years ago

I recently was given a new GPSMAP 62s and I downloaded basecamp to my laptop and also purchased BirdsEye Satellite Imagery ($29.99/year)...I "created" 3 Birdseye Images in "my collection" and I tried to send "my collection" to my device...My problem is I have no idea where it is in my device or if it actually transferred...I have watched all of the training videos for basecamp and I just can't seem to locate them in my device...Any help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks.

If you're asking where the files are you can determine this by examining the \Garmin\GarminDevice.xml file in Windows Notepad or other text editor/viewer. For example this is the appropriate section from my Oregon 450.

<DataType>

            <Name>BirdsEye</Name>

            <File>

                <Specification>

                    <Identifier>JNX</Identifier>

                </Specification>

                <Location>

                    <Path>Garmin/BirdsEye</Path>

                    <FileExtension>JNX</FileExtension>

                </Location>

                <TransferDirection>InputOutput</TransferDirection>

            </File>

            <File>

                <Specification>

                    <Identifier>JNX 4</Identifier>

                </Specification>

                <Location>

                    <Path>Garmin/BirdsEye</Path>

                    <FileExtension>JNX</FileExtension>

                </Location>

                <TransferDirection>InputOutput</TransferDirection>

            </File>

        </DataType>

So on the Oregon x50 models the BirdsEye imagery is saved on the device or SD card in

\Garmin\BirdsEye

as .jnx files.

Now if you're asking where you turn the imagery on/off in your 62S that should be in map setup. Where that is exactly in the 62S menu structure I don't know.
