Basecamp Now Wont Read Topo Map From GPS

Run JaVaWa Device manager ... click on Manage maps, is your topo map showing in the list that appears? If so, does it show the Basecamp roundel, it will be about in the middle of the line? If not that's why Basecamp isn't seeing the map. Click on the line to select it then click on the Basecamp roundel top left that says 'Visible in Basecamp'. The Basecamp roundel should now show against your map and it show now be visible in Basecamp.

Ok I did what you asked and I'm still getting the error. Here are the steps i have done. I also upload a picture for you. Just copy the link and put in your browser.

1. Clicked on Manage Maps - Memory Stick
2. Box open up. Noticed that Top24k_West.img. Notice three icons.
1. This file resides in folder H:\Garmin this is my memory stick
2. This map is routable
3. The items in this file is available in basecamp

Yes everything your asking is there. I load up basecamp and now im getting this error still

"An error occurred when attempting to use the TOPO U.S.24k West Map Product."

Please help

"An error occurred when attempting to use the TOPO U.S.24k West Map Product."

BaseCamp caches maps on a device/SD card. It could be the cache has been corrupted. Try (with BC closed) deleting all the files in

C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Garmin\BaseCamp\CardProductCache

BC will rebuild the cache when you reopen it (may take a while).

BINGO....BINGO....BINGO .... THAT DID IT

thank you so much!!!!!

Now I have a question. Is there away to see my topo 24k in Basecamp without plugging in my GPS unit? The only way I can see my Topo24k Is if I plug in my gps

You're welcome. I'm glad it worked.



Yes. Copy the Top24k_West.img file to a Garmin folder on a removable drive (e.g. card reader) that is plugged into your computer. If you copy the \Garmin\GarminDevice.xml file as well BC will see that removable drive as your device. Some of us do that ("clone" our device(s)) for firmware/map updates etc.

Great thanks!! I'm now ready to adventure and hike!! So excited

I also want to thank everyone for taking there time out of there lives to help me with this. All you guys are great support!!

I'm now ready to adventure and hike!!

I won't be able to hike until next spring/summer. About 10" of snow outside right now. I had to shovel it twice today :(

thank you for your response. I did down load JaVaWa. Not sure what I'm supposed to do with this. BaseCamp still not loading my TopoMap

Do this.
