Hello all,
I am trying to upload the Washington State topo map that I downloaded from this site. I am using the mac version of basecamp. I installed the maps into the software without any issues and can use it with no problem. However, when I go to install the maps on my GPS with the mapinstall program , after the it finishes and the GPS restarts I get a cannot unlock map error message. THe map supposedly isn't and I didn't have to unlock it in basecamp. It does indeed load the img file as I can see it. I have the latest version of mapinstall and I am trying to load this to a Oregon 400t. Yes, I know it comes loaded with the US topo, but I wanted to check out this map as well. Any thoughts? Am i missing some thing obvious? Thanks.
Yes, that one. Mapinstall 2.1.5 Basecamp 2.1.1
Do you have any other maps installed in basecamp?
Yes and I can transfer them all without any issues, well other than city navigator as that's unlocked to a specific gps.
My only thought is that you accidently transferred some of City Navigator. But I assume you've re-transferred the washington map which would clear all the others.
Yeah, I don't think I did that. I've tried this a few times with the same result. I don't really need the washington map on there as I have the Oregon 400t which has US topo installed, but wanted to have an option. Now its more just trying to figure out why its not working.
I wonder if this is just a bug in the Mac version of the software. I'm pretty sure that I've seen similar threads before. Do you also have Windows on your Mac, or access to a Windows machine? If so, see if you can load it with Mapsource.
Yes, I windows on my mac and mapsource. That was my next step.
I was able to load the maps through mapsource and have them stay unlocked. So it must be a glitch with Bascamp. Thanks for everyone's responses.
