Just wanted to post one last and great big THANK YOU to sussamb as well as MSTOCK27370 (who had also sent me a PM). I have now successfully created a custom route in Mapsource, and then transferred it to my 550 without all the annoying orange flags/waypoints. Again - I would have NEVER been able to ...

Sussamb: Sounds like a nice trip you have planned! If you do find yourself in Louisiana - be sure to let me know. I live in central Louisiana - pretty much in the dead center of the state. Would love to treat you to the local fare! Also - I just completed mapping my first route and transferring it t...

Sussamb: Well, it took two hours, but I followed the directions for Windows at the bottom of the page from the link you sent me, and now my 550 shows all map detail! Apparently the memory that comes with the 550 isn't enough to load all of the US map anymore, and the map must be loaded to an SD card...

Sussamb: Thanks once again for your advice - it was SPOT ON! I logged into my MyGarmin account, and confirmed that I have lifetime updates to "City Navigator North America", and then I followed your instructions. I was able to update Mapsource and my Zumo 550 at the same time using Garmin ...

I’m pretty sure I did pay for lifetime map updates.

So if that’s the case, how would I go about using Garmin Express to pull the maps into Mapsource?

And THANK YOU once again - you’re knowledge of all of this is amazing!!!

Thank you once again, sussamb, for your response and your help! I used the blue download button, and downloaded the mapsource_6163.exe file, which was the 57.05mb file. And for some reason, as I explained above, when I ran it, it terminated stating that I needed a version of Mapsource already instal...

I just downloaded the latest version of Mapsource from the Garmin site (v 6.16.3), but when I attempt to install it, it tells me that it's only an update, and that I need to have a previous version of Mapsource already installed. As I mentioned in my original post, the old Dell PC that died had the ...

Thanks so much for the replies and info! So apparently I’ve been out of the loop for a while...what exactly is “Basecamp”? Is it also a free download? I have many old routes that I created in my old version of Mapsource on my old Windows XP computer that I would like to use once again on my Zumo 550...

Thank you for the link, sussamb!

So I see that this is dated 2010. Is that the last time that Mapsource was updated?

Also - this version will work with Windows 10?

Thank you again for you help!!!

Hello all! I have owned a Zumo 550 for many years. I used to have Mapsource on a Windows XP computer, and I used it to create routes for motorcycle rides, as well as for keeping the Zumo maps current. The Windows XP computer recently died, and I now have a Windows 10 computer. I don't have the origi...
