Hello,
I'd like to start by saying thank you for the great data that this site provides. I have downloaded the FL topo map (Mac version) to my Mac. After unzipping it, I double click it to launch Map Manager. "Florida Topo.gmapi" comes up as a map to install. I click install, and the map is supposedly installed. When I open my GPSr (60CS), there are no maps present.
Any thoughts?
TIA,
Chris
Someone else is having issues on the Mac, and I took a couple wild guesses at the end of this thread: http://forums.gpsfiledepot.com/index.php/topic,961.0.html
Thank you for the prompt reply, Boyd, but no good. I installed Mapsource for Mac from the Garmin site first. Was I to do that, as an installer is included? Also, I just went to a Windows box and installed Mapsource from Garmin, but the instal aborted because I did not have a previous version of the program installed. I'm really stumped, now. :-\

MapManager installs maps onto your Macintosh. You then need to follow the instructions here (http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/tutorials/how-to-load-maps-on-my-garmin-gps-unit/#mac) and use MapInstall to install any maps to your GPS.

Thanks. I did as you suggested and still a no go. I will try to clean out all of my maps on the GPSr, delete all programs on the Mac and start from scratch. Will advise.

I don't know squat about Mac's but in reading your first post it strikes me that you might be omiting something, at least as it compares to windows. You say the florida topo comes up as a map to install, you then click install. With the windows version you must first "select" the map to install. If the Mac system is the same that might be your problem.
Good luck
Hey Jimbob... Yes, I neglected to say that I selected the maps that I wanted to install. I do get an option for that.
Thanks,
Chris
Well, I tried it again and it worked. Very odd.
