Thanks for the reply Boyd. The information you provided helped me fix the issue. I first took out the SD card and then tried installing the maps and everything worked fine so the SD card was the problem. It ended up that the card was formatted exfat. I properly formatted it to fat32 using Parted Magic/Gparted and then tried installing the maps again on the card and everything worked great once again. Thanks also for the tip about JavaWa Device Manager. I've installed it and am now using it with the Oregon. P.S. I understand what you are saying about the excessive size of the SD card... it was a spare taken from another device that was not being used.

Thanks again and have a great day!

Good afternoon,

I've installed the latest Basecamp (4.6.2) on my Win10 laptop and have also installed two maps from gpsfiledepot (127-1914-tennessee_topo_install.exe and 130-8200-north_carolina_topo_install.exe). I connect the Oregon to my computer and Basecamp recognizes it fine. Basecamp also runs Mapinstall and says that it installs these two topo maps to my device. I can select the top maps and view them in Basecamp but they don't show up in the left hand pane in Basecamp under Devices for the Oregon 600 and they don't show up within the selections of maps available on the Oregon 600 itself. I do have a 64GB SD card (fat formatted) in the Oregon and I can see the topo maps installed in the Garmin folder on the SD card via Windows Explorer.

Any ideas as to why Basecamp can see these maps and says that it has installed them on the Oregon 600 (which it seems to have done via seeing them in the SD card's Garmin folder) yet I don't see them/can't find them on the Oregon 600 itself?

Thank you !
