sockmonkey,
You were right, the ProgramData folder was hidden. Copied folders over and the maps are showing in basecamp now.

Thank you for replying.

Download the MAC version of the map, CA-CentralProvTopo, extract with your favorite zip extractor, and you should have are 2 folder, one topo and one routeable, that ends in gmapi.  Click on the one you want until you get to CA-CentralProvxxxx.gmap (if you see Product1, etc you've gone one too far).  Copy this to  C:/ProgramData/Garmin/Maps (you may have to unhide folder and create those sub folders).  You should now be able to open Basecamp (or even Mapsource) and the map will be in the drop down of available maps.

Let us know how it goes!

Hello.
I Downloaded the MAC version of the map CA-EastProvTopo Map, extracted it, and placed the 2 gmap folders in my C:\Program Files (x86)\Garmin\MapInstall\Maps folder.
Mapsource recognizes the maps and opens them no problem.
Basecamp does not. And they do not show in its map product box.
I'm running Win 11 system. Basecamp is current ver.

Thank you
