Attached is screen shot of Basecamp after I select the "Import into Southwest Hikes" from the main menu.  It goes to the Garmin Applications folder and finds the Map folder, which has the .gmap files but all of them are greyed out. I hope that is helpful.

Thanks for the reply.  What is so frustrating is that everyone says this should be easy but with hours invested in it, I'm no closer to a solution. I've already reinstalled Basecamp and if you look at the last image I posted of MapManager, from what I can tell, MapManager shows the maps as installed and compatible with Garmin. But they remain greyed out, so I can't click on them or otherwise make them active in Basecamp. The maps do show up in the Garmin application folder in the Maps subfolder on my computer, but again, they remain greyed out and inaccessible.  All of the maps were downloaded from various sites on GPSFileDepot.

I know there must be something fundamental that I am missing here as it does not seem possible to access any file ending in .gmap, whereas files ending in .kmz are straigthforward. Others are reporting the same frustration on other sites on the Internet, and some of the responders also say it should be straightforward but it does not seem to work.  I don't know what other information I can provide to help debug so any suggestions are most welcome.

Can anyone help me with loading map files ending in .gmap into Basecamp on my MAC.  I was able to load .kmz files with no problem, but no luck with this other format, even though providers claim they are for MACs.  They do show up in the Map Manager, but when I try to import them into Basecamp, they show up as greyed out. I've spent many hours on the Internet trying to figure this out with no luck at all. Any help is appreciated. I have the latest version of Basecamp installed.
