Re: Map update

Just an update on this situation. I tried three computers, including a round trip of 60 miles to the third, using USB leads that I knew worked fine as I had updated my Montana and an XT using them.

Re: Map update

You can't install BaseCamp maps unless the other device is authorised to use them, which is unlikely, or have I misunderstood your question? If so please clarify what exactly you're trying to do.

Re: GE will not recognise my XT

Thanks for the replies.
After numerous attempts at fixing this issue I took a very simple way out. I did a system restore to my PC to an earlier date. After that I connected the XT to the PC and GE recognised a new device immediately.
