#GARMIN MAPINSTALL MAP DIRECTORY MAC OS#
It is available to download free of charge for Windows or Mac OS X. Unzip ReplaceTyp.zip to a directory of your choice. You're Done - proceed to 8 for details if you get stuck at any point. The Installation Wizard will walk you through sending the maps to your GPS. BaseCamp is software from Garmin for viewing maps, waypoints, routes and tracks, and transferring them to or from a Garmin GPS device. Open the Map Install program which was installed with BaseCamp -> Start-Programs-Garmin-Map Install. Which lost all my 'favourite' destinations.īecause Lifetime Update cannot be transferred to a new unit, even for a fee, Garmin are losing out because many of us will keep going with 8 year old GPS units rather than losing something for which we've already paid. For upgrading a map we recommend uninstalling the old map before installing the new map. It was like pulling teeth trying to get that information out of Garmin! I did once try downloading to an 8Gb SD card on Garmin's advice, but that crashed my GPS software, requiring a total reset. Once that's complete, I use Garmin MapInstall to create a customised map set which fills the 2Gb memory - the full European mapset needs around 4Gb if not more.Ĭustomised mapset building is a total pain though! Mainly due to the rather poor HMI Garmin use.Ī top tip - the UK/Ireland mapset also includes the following French maps: I became increasingly frustrated with Garmin Express, which never worked properly with my nüvi 660, WinXP and 'down-the-phone' Internet, so now I use Garmin MapUpdater to download the full map set onto my laptop and the UK/Ireland set onto the GPS.
