Using The Maps/Garmin Software / Re: Window 7, 64 bit

The following is a reply I made to Froman on his thread...

QuoteHey Froman...I got my WIN7 64 bit system going but did it kind of backwards...
Here is the order I followed...
1st...I uninstalled both MapSource and BaseCamp programs from my computer from the Control Panel "Uninstall Programs"
2nd...I downloaded and installed "My_Trails_install.exe" found here...
http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/view/53/
3rd...I reinstalled BaseCamp
4th...reinstalled the Arkansas Topo map

After doing that Basecamp found the map files and opened them up for viewing... ;D

Also, turn off "Basic Map Only   Ctrl+G" under View in the top toolbar...that will allow the detail for the map to show  ;)

Additionally I noticed that the Ark Topo doesn't show the new bypass from J'Ville to I40 but the Global Map does...

Thanks to all who posted suggestions...I guess the order of installation has something to do with the programs finding each other too... ???

QuoteSounds to me he's trying to open the .img files from the FILE->OPEN... or FILE->IMPORT... menu

Right, as that seemed to be the only choice available to me...

I must be missing something very basic here...
I am running the same software a Win7 32 bit laptop and not having any problems with it...

This Win7 64 bit machine runs both basecamp and mapsource but refuses to recognize the *img files I got with the 137-5365-arkansas_topo_install.exe file download

Any help will be greatly appreciated

having trouble getting basecamp to find the Arkansas Topo maps I dowloaded...the topo file dowloaded find and executed but all the files inside are tagged as *.img files...basecamp is looking for *gp* or jpg files...

How do I get basecamp to find and open the ark topo files...
