Thanks, Seldom. The Arkansas Topo map had so much more with topographic lines, etc. I may look elsewhere for map sources now that I'm stuck with Windows 8.1. I just wanted the basic roads and USGS topo lines. I need something to lay down the tracks I record by hikings and backpacking.

Well some things now show up with View>Toolbars>Detail Level set to Highest, but not everything. So apparently the 64 bit fix is working somewhat and maybe now this is a Basecamp issue best taken to another thread.
Here's what I get, which I can only imagine is partial. Please see attachment.
I wonder if anyone can direct me in the right direction.

Thanks so much, Seldom! I can't wait to get home. So, the MyTrails fix no doubt worked. Great! I can't wait to see what the MyTrails Arkansas map looks like compared to the Arkansas Topo map I had (which was great too).

My apologies if this is covered elsewhere in the forum, as I am new and when I searched forums for "Windows 8.1", this is the one thread that came up.
I had enjoyed the Arkansas Topo Map created by maps4gps on my Garmin Oregon 450 and on Basecamp installed on my old laptop. I got a new laptop which came with Windows 8.1/64 bit. Connecting my Garmin to my new laptop allowed me to import a new track to Basecamp which I just installed. It didn't bring over the Arkansas Topo Map from the device to the laptop, so I assumed I needed to download and install the map on my laptop.
I downloaded the .exe file for Arkansas Topo Map. It installed the files to C:\Program Files (x86)\artopo11. I may should have selected another folder.  Basecamp didn't find the map nor is there a .kmz file in the folder for me to move elsewhere and try to search with Basecamp. I'm probably doing this all wrong.
Then I saw on the Arkansas Topo Map page on GPSFileDepot that there is an issue with 64 bit. I also read some forum posts (for Windows 7/64 bit) that a solution might be to install MyTrails created by jbensman.
I downloaded and installed MyTrails. MyTrails is now in the Map Products pulldown, along with the Global Map that came with Basecamp. When I pull down and select MyTrails and I go to my area of interest in Arkansas, I don't see the map.
I understand the map is transparent and this may be a view issue which is beyond me. Jbensman says "you have to zoom in to 7 miles with detail set to highest before you can see the map in MapSource and BaseCamp." This is where I get lost. I zoom way in and I can't find a setting for "Detail" in BaseCamp.
I wonder if someone can help me. It will be much appreciated.
