Save TOPO Maps from 5x Plus to Basecamp?


Can the maps that come loaded to the 5X Plus be saved to Basecamp to enable creating routs on the PC? I just had mine plugged in, it took FOREVER for the maps to show on the PC after I hit receive from device, as soon as I disconnected it the maps disappeared.
  • Do the files actually have to reside under a folder called /Garmin on the stick or card? It seems every time I read about doing something with a card, there is always a note to ensure the files are located under "Garmin" folder. I know it was mentioned above, but I thought I would re-emphasize that note.
  • I’m a little late to this thread, but just wanted to add that you can create a disk image containing just a Garmin folder and some maps, which you can then mount and use with Basecamp. No need to remember your USB stick each time.
