I am answering my own question -- this is the procedure that worked for me:

Procedure to load maps from GPSFileDepot on to Garmin via Mac

1. connect Garmin device via USB cable to Mac
2.  Download selected file (*.tgz) from GPSFileDepot
3. Open with "Stuffit Expander" which should create a *.gmapi file
4. "double click" *.gmapi file
5. Open Garmin MapInstall App (file should be present)
6. "click on" Send Maps

I just downloaded the Southern Alberta trail maps file (78-611-southern_alberta_trail_maps_mac.tgz file to my iMac running OS X (version 10.11.5).  When I double click on this file it creates a .cpgz file.

How do I get either of these files into Base Camp or MapInstall to load onto my device?  The images in the tutorial to laod onto a Mac appear to be "out of date".

General Discussion / Glacier National Park

I will be doing some hiking in Glacier National Park in the near future.  Can any recommend a good source for trails that I can download onto my Garmin 62 GPS?

Thanks.
