I re-downloaded the map (AK Topo), and extracted the files to a folder on my desktop. They are .img files. The do not show up in my Mapsource or Basecamp. It seems like I need to follow these instructions: http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/tutorials/how-to-load-.img-files-into-mapsource-with-mapsettoolkit/, but they involve Mapsettoolkit.
I tried that, with no luck. Should I give it a whirl again to see if I screwed something up the 1st time?

I followed all of the instructions (multiple times!) to convert .img maps in order to load them in mapsource and subsequently in my Dakota. But still no luck. I have no idea what i am doing wrong. Will the mapset tool import the data to mapsource automatically? Will it also import it into Basecamp?

I'm having the same issue: no drop down menu (running Win7 & latest version of Mapsource, recently updated from version 2.0). I go to view->switch to product-> and all I see are to options:
no map
Trip and Waypoint Manager v2

Please help!! Thanks.

Hello,
First off, I am new to this forum and to GPSfiledepot. I am trying (unsuccessfully) to import maps I've down-loaded from your site to my Garmin Dakota via Mapsource. I had an (much) older version of Mapsource, which did not recognize my GPS. I followed the instructions on your site, and successfully downloaded the updated version of Mapsource. It recognizes my GPS, but now I cannot import the downloaded .img maps into Mapsource. I followed the instructions for downloading the .img files, re-did everything after I updated Mapsource. In the old version of Mapsource, the screen appeared as your screenshot did, and I was able to choose what map to load. In the new version of Mapsource, there is no drop-down menu to choose what map to load.
I have been at this for hours now. Please help! Thanks.
