I am able to get to the grid and select the areas I want, however, at the next step I get the following error message...............
There was a problem while installing maps on your device. Ensure that the device is plugged in and turned on, and try again.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Do you have a datacard in the GPS?
Yes...and I formatted it. It's a SanDisk, 2 Gb.
trying to install the Colorado topo.
The Data Card must be formatted as DOS FAT-32. You can do that on a Mac, but it probably isn't the default. Use Disk Tools to check the card and re-format if needed.
Aside from that, I've seen a number of similar posts about maps not working properly with MapInstall. I have always used Macs, and Apple ][ before that. Garmin gets points for offering Mac versions of their programs, but they really aren't up to the level of the Windows versions. I use Windows for all my mapping/gps stuff, it's just easier and faster.
"Data Card must be formatted as DOS FAT-32"
Yep, did that, thanks
Used my PC...took about 10 minutes...Grrr
