Garmin has told me that from now on there will no longer be that option. They seem to want to separate Basecamp from XT2/Tread forever. It's a shame. :cry:

I don't know if it is still the same in 7.24, but the last release of 7.23 would ONLY install the map to the computer AFTER it was installed in the XT 1st.

a week ago i ran Express 7.24.0 and it updated new 2025.20 CN NA maps to the XT first, then after that was completed, I downloaded 2025.20 NA maps to my PC computer, updating maps on device and computer is a completely separate process now, the older Express used to have a button to update device & computer all at the same time, but that option is not available anymore, you have to do computer and device updates separately now. 8-)

It sounds like 7.24.0 is detecting a connected XT2 and not offering the install map to computer option. I don't see any logic in this. If the want to totally stop supporting Basecamp then why not remove it for all devices. If they want to discourage XT owners from upgrading to an XT2, well they're on the right path.
