Re: How to put maps onto your PC

Just adding to this to clear up confusion between NT and NTU maps. Older devices use NT maps, newer use NTU. Your 1490 uses NT but I'm not sure about your Zumo, I suspect it should be NTU.

Re: How to put maps onto your PC

This depends on how the maps got there. If you sent them using MapInstall they should be in a folder named Map on your device or card (if you have one installed). Do a search for any file ending in .img. It's likely to be called gmapsupp.img. There are likely to be two other files starting gmapsupp ...

Re: How to put maps onto your PC

I suspect part of this problem has just been revealed in that the OP has two devices so BaseCamp and Express may have map updates from both of them and they may be being applied to the wrong devices. What I would do is remove all the maps from my PC so BaseCamp has no maps installed. All those extra...

Re: How to put maps onto your PC

Not necessarily, but I'm confused by the fact you have a NTU map on your device but are downloading NT maps to BaseCamp. How are you obtaining these NT maps? You should be being offered NTU maps if your device has lifetime maps?

Re: Tricky

Maybe I'm not being clear, I get the same. But for Express to give the option you must have a device that has previously been updated. A new device, with an up to date map, has never had an update. Until it gets the first map update Express won't give the option to reinstall the map or install it to...

Re: Tricky

I can't as I've updated all my devices. It'll work for you too but it won't if someone buys a new device with maps already up to date. Express won't even show an update until the next map release. At least that's how it used to be and it caused great confusion at times, perhaps Garmin has changed ho...

Re: Tricky

Not if you bought a device with up to date maps, Express won't offer a map update or reinstall until a new map is out.

Re: Tricky

If you don't it can only be because you've recently bought the device and it has the latest maps. Once you do your first update after the next map release you will be able to.

Re: Tricky

Have you been able to update the maps on your device? If so you should have the Install options when you select the map in Express. See also the instructions alan sh mentioned.

Re: Tricky

Run Express and click on the Install options. Select Install to PC only.
