It was also not trivial for me to see how to do this on a MAC. For full disclosure, I am not a Mac user, it's my wife's machine, but until Garmin sees fit to provide a linux version of mapsource it's what I have.
Once I found where the files had been downloaded to, I then had to figure out how to get them loaded into Mapsource. All I had to do was double-click on the filename in the finder, but, like I said, I don't know much about Mac's. It'd be nice to include a little bit about how you go from the download to getting the maps read into Mapsource.
Currently I am downloading delaware's contour overlay to my Dakota 10. I sure hope it doesn't overwrite my City Navigator maps. It seems to be downloading them as well, but I don't know how else to do this. One minute left. We will see.
Seemed to work. Now to re-do it with the entire NE. This is very cool. Sure beats paying $100 for Garmin's inferior topo overlay (which I had when I briefly had a nuvi 500 -- returned it because of the poor battery life that made it unusable on my bike).
