You are right, Boyd, thanks. I just tried reinstalling it, and this time it put it where it said it was gonna. So I must have overtyped something when I wasn't paying attention.

OK, so the New Mexico installer is working great. Now I hope I can get some help getting the Arizona maps installed.

I don't like bumping, but I wonder if you've been able to make any progress on this issue with the Arizona map installer.

To make this post not be a total bump, I'll point out that I noticed in the New Mexico install that the maps got installed to (and I'm doing this from memory, so it may not be 100%, but it will serve), ...\Programs(x86)New Mexico Topo instead of ...\Programs(x86)\New Mexico Topo. This is Win7-64. It appears a backslash is missing in the install folder name in the New Mexico installer, unless I changed it somewhere without realizing I did so.

Yea the reason I want you to try New Mexico is they use slightly different installer scripts so that will help debug the problem.

edit: fixed quote

The New Mexico download sailed into both BaseCamp and Mapsource like a tar ball on a Gulf coast beach. If I may say so, though, they look WAY nicer. Loaded onto the 450t without a hitch.

So what's different about the Arizona installer?

There should also be an Arizona Topo.IMG file in the Arizona Topo folder.  It's about 290Kbytes.

Yes, that is one of the 47 IMG files.

If you download and install the New Mexico topo does that work?

I'll have to try it. I've only attempted Arizona so far (guess where I live?). It may take me several days to get to it. I'll be back once I've made the attempt.

Thanks to you both.

[aztopo_2.00_install.exe]

Can you see the two "Devices" (the unit and removable media) at the bottom of the top left "Library" window?

Sorry, I haven't been able to get back to this for a couple of days.

Yes, I can see the two devices in BaseCamp.

Can you see maps in BaseCamp?  The installers from this site install maps to the PC, in BaseCamp or MapSource, nor to the GPSr.  Generally, if you double click on the download it will automatically install to MapSource/BaseCamp.

I can see other maps in BaseCamp, but Arizona Topo is not in the dropdown. Ditto for MapSource. Please see the attached (I hope) images.

I download and run (and have done so more than once) aztopo_2.00_install.exe. As a result of the install, I get the following directory created: C:\Program Files (x86)\Arizona Topo (W7 Home Premium, 64-bit). That directory contains 47 IMG files, Arizona Topo.MDX, Arizona Topo.TDB, and uninstall.exe.  And then I see nothing in either application. And that is where I am stuck, so I think I am overlooking the obvious.

Connect your OR to your PC and run BaseCamp.  Right click on your OR icon in BaseCamp and select
"install maps". 

Hi,

When I attempt this with my new 450t, the "install maps" menu option is grayed out and does not respond. I used the installer for the mapset I downloaded (Arizona Topo 24K) but neither Base Camp nor Map Source recognizes the installation.  Any next steps received with gratitude.
