Thank you Ed. I'd given up on BaseCamp because of another post directing us to alternatives. I looked at the Mac version and will try BC again. Is the Mac version close enough to the PC version that I can read the PC one for hints on how to do something?
My pleasure
I think that you will like it.
I think that it is a great document.
They are quite a bit different. You can certainly pick up a lot from the Maqc agenda that I posted. It will be a lot better once I can make it Mac specific.
My pleasure.

You have only the Basemap in BaseCamp, but full map on the 550?
Hi Ed, in basecamp something called 'Map Product Manager' lists 3 maps under the 'map product information' tab. The first map listed is 'City Navigator North America NT 2015.4' version '18.40' status is 'locked' location is c;\program data\garmin\maps .... etc. There is an option to Unlock online in a button on the right of that page. When I click that button it takes me to 'Garmin unlock maps' internet page where I click a 'find device' button. Even though my zumo is connected and showing the computer interface icon on the screen it is not detected and nothing happens, just says 'looking for connected devices' forever. A Zumoforums post suggested that with my versions I should be able to to simply connect my Zumo and open basecamp and discovery and map transfer would be automatic but I get no love there. Have now been at this all weekend (a couple of 3+ hour long downloads allowed me to get out of the house). I can see how many users would give up in frustration.

EUREKA! Was able to unlock from 'mygarmin' so I should be able to move forward without impediment.
Thanks for putting the tutorial together Ed.
Keep in mind that the Mac version is a work in progress. I do not have a Mac so I started with the PC version and I have started making changes. I will visit my brother who has a Mac soon and then I will completely redo it. You should still get a lot out of it.
Deal!
Very easily fixed. Check out the agenda.
