I've seen this problem mentioned elsewhere as a bug in Mapsource. I also have used the instructions at this site:

http://www.gpssledmaps.com/guide/quick_map.php

with success, and it has a workaround for the problem at step #7A. I have never tried to understand why it works.

Does BaseCamp provide an tool to select maps to send to a device?  If so, I can't find it.  Nothing equivalent to the pink highlight map selection tool in MapSource.

If you have a device/SD card attached, it is listed on the left. Right click on the device -> Install Maps opens a separate wizard GUI for tile selection.

It doesn't seem able to import Mapsource .gdb files with tile lists, or provide a way to save a tile list.

It does fix the problem with importing one track .gpx wiping out a previous track. You can make folders and copy tracks/waypoints/routes to them. Any imported data is auto added to the "My Collection" folder.

This has been discussed at length over at groundspeak and Garmin knows it. I see this problem with 6.15.6 and 6.15.7 on XP. If you have not opened a .gpx file, it will crash on saving. If you have opened any .gpx file, then any saving to a .gpx will work.

I made an "empty.gpx" with no tracks or points and added that to the target in the desktop shortcut properties. That way, you can forget about the bug.

Thanks for the responses all. Yes I was referring to box 18, each time I hit compile a message comes up to enter a TYP file and will prevent me from going any farther.

Still hoping. I have been back over the same ground several times with the tutorials and all ends in the same place.

As I read the tutorial and as I have used it, you shouldn't be clicking the "Compile" button at all if you aren't using a custom TYP file. Step 18 doesn't say click "Custom". Continue to step #19. You end up clicking "START" at step #22 and everything happens then.
