Sorry Oz, I wasn't ignoring you.
Well I think that for someone with limited PC skills this program helps by keeping you out of the registry. It also, I found, would not allow a link with some hardware arrangements,  For eg: It would not let me make a link from an ATA drive to a SCSI drive. I'm assuming that because of the partition types and on different controllers this could be a volatile situation. So it does check the integrity of your choices.
And so for the average user this is a safe and simple way to free up the C: drive.

Nice addition with the MAC link, 10 Q.
DrRon, the original windows link above goes to Brothersoft and is safe. I'm using Avast and have no issues.

I didn't like the fact that Topo Canada install offered no alternative install location. And I usually install certain programs to an alterante drive so as to keep my C: drive as small and as fast as possible, which I also did with my Windows cache. I remembered that I had a program called "junction Link Magic" which will setup a link to another patition/drive.
So I installed it then pointed it to my Garmin folder where Topo canada installed and to the new folder on the other hard drive where I'm moving the 4 plus gigs of maps to.  When setting up the link the folders have to be empty, then once the link is established you move all your maps from a temp directory to the new location. Then I ran "Map Set Toolkit" and reassigned the registry keys to the new location. Then ran my defrag routine and budabing smaller faster C: drive.
Here is a link to Junction Link Magic (which is free) then let me know I'll send you a copy, its only about 600 kB.

Cudo's, worked like a charm, no more error.
Thanks,

Thanks I'll give it a try!

Ok I see. Thanks for the response.
Basecamp is looking for garmin/GPX/userdata.gpx on the sd card, which of course is not there.
This being my first GPSr I've never had a chance to use Mapsource so will continue to enjoy Basecamp and wait for the fixes. Again thanks for the insight.

Hello all,
I just bought my first GPSr, an Oregon 450. I love this thing! I'm having a great time learning it's different functions. There is one glitch that I've come across though and would like know if I've missed something. With the latest updates on the Oregon and Basecamp, whenever I plug the 450 into my PC Basecamp will not read the 4 gig micro SD card. It says theres a problem and the the folder is greyed out. I am able to drop jpegs on the card through explorer and view the pics on the Oregon. Anyone familiar with this problem?
