The Louisiana topo file I got from this site.  I'm not sure where this should go.

I just tried the c:\ProgramData\Garmin\Maps suggestion, but it didn't work.

The La Topo map is an installer that creates a sub folder titled "latopo11" and places all the files into there.  Should that be a sub folder be created or should all the files go into whatever the recommended folder?

The files in the folder has one "typ" extension, one "tdb", and an "img" file with the same name as the "tdb" filename.

Hope some of that helps to point me in the same direction.

Is there something I can do with the MapsetToolkit?  I just ran it against the files, and it does say "Complete".  But restarting the Garmin Basecamp and clicking Maps>Install Maps does not show anything to install.

I have tried several target directories for my Louisiana Topo map installation.  When I open BaseCamp, the map is not visible.  When I select MapInstall, I can see my GPSr, but no maps. Just this message:
"No unlocked maps were found for this device"

PC: Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Dell Latitude E7450 Laptop
Maps: Louisiana Topo
GPSr: Garmin 64s
BaseCamp version 4.6.2
BaseCamp install directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Garmin\BaseCamp

Attempted Target Directories:
c:\Garmin
c:\Garmin\latopo11
c:\Program Files\Garmin\
c:\Program Files\Garmin\latopo11\
c:\Program Files x(86)\Garmin\
c:\Program Files x(86)\Garmin\latopo11\
c:\Program Files x(86)\Garmin\Maps\
c:\Program Files x(86)\Garmin\Maps\latopo11\
c:\Program Files x(86)\Garmin\MapInstall\latopo11\
c:\Program Files x(86)\Garmin\MapInstall\Maps\
c:\Program Files x(86)\Garmin\MapInstall\Maps\latopo11\
c:\Program Files x(86)\Garmin\BaseCamp\latopo11\
c:\Program Files x(86)\Garmin\BaseCamp\Maps\
c:\Program Files x(86)\Garmin\BaseCamp\Maps\latopo11\

For each new folder I do the following:
Run the installation file for the Louisiana topo and select the installation directory.
Open BaseCamp
Select Maps>Install Maps
Verify I cannot see the map
Close BaseCamp
Uninstall the download file
Start over

I'm running out of ideas
