MAC issue – HowTo copy preinstalled/bundled map from EDGE 1000 to Basecamp?

This is a MAC issue

Hi there,

when using Express I have an option to transfer/copy the preinstalled routeable Map to Basecamp – I can start the process and it goes through until the very end resulting in an error message (something that translate into "there is a communication error with the Garmin server – please retry").

After the unsuccessful attempt I can see that a hefty pair of files have been copied to "/Users/myusername/Library/Application Support/Garmin/Express/Maps" called "gmapgc.img" and "gmapdem.img" which I have no idea on how to use.

Please find below two screenshots (SORRY in German only).

Anyone with a solution for this issue?

Maybe I'm simply running the wrong way...

Cheers, Lorenz

This is an Express issue so I'm moving it to the Express forum.

However if the map came pre-installed I don't believe you can use Express to install it onto your mac :confused:

Hi SUSSAMB – thanks for moving (or actually listing it in both sections of the forum).

Technically: If I launch Express an select devices there is a section on re-installation of the bundled map. Using the advanced options I can select "device only", "pc only" and finally "device and pc" which are expicitly designed for Basecamp. Should do exactely what I want :-)

Please find below a screenshot...

It's still an Express issue ... and the team here are active, don't think the team that develop the 1000 are :)
