New Garmin Mac software!

I was playing around with RoadTrip this weekend for the first time and was surprised it wouldn't track automatically (that I know of). I may have to try the new version.

Installing Addit Maps into BaseCamp (for Mac)

I downloaded the BaseCamp software today, and took it for a spin. The interface is almost exactly what Road Trip has, with the exception of the 'track' tool.

This could be a GREAT tool, allowing one to draw a tracklog-like line and then upload it to a gps to follow it. Much more useful than a string of waypoints turned into a 'route' with lots of straight lines connecting them!

BUT... I was utterly unable to get BaseCamp to install any of my maps. I have a number of mapsets which I have uploaded via MapManager to both RoadTrip and to my gps's. But so far I cannot upload to BaseCamp, for example, either City Navigator North America NT 2010, or Montana Topo maps. So I have not been able to display enough detail to really make the 'track' tool really useful.

anyone found the same problem? any solutions?

Thanks, John
