Thanks for the help!  Will check out homeport.  Perhaps PolarView as well (found that quickly while googling for homeport info). -K

Downloaded BaseCamp.  It worked great for seeing the map I up-loaded to the built-in memory of the GPS (file from this website) and it sees the Topo I bought from Garmin and placed in the SD slot.  HOWEVER, it does not see the pre-loaded ocean charts that come standard on the 78SC, only the standard basemap.   Any ideas?

Thanks for info, I will try basecamp.  I suppose there is no way to get the pre-loaded charts from my 78sc into mapsource either.  I want to do trip planning in Mapsource, then download to by 78....

I bought Garmin topo preloaded on an SD card.  my gps reads it fine.  However, I want to get it into MapSource but don't know how. 

I tried using mapsettoolkit with cgpsmapper...it does the DOS thing for a while, then a windows popup says "Can't create REG file".   I way OK and it says complete.  But, when I go into Mapsource it does not have the map.  I must be doing something wrong... or perhaps there is a better way to get their info into Mapsource.

THe sd card had two files:   gmapsupp.img and gmapsupp.unl.

Thanks
