Hey Mac, this info rocks m8:) I have been getting nagged lately, since adding some after market maps, so I un-installled and re-installed the way you describe and it works great, thanks. Now, for some info that may help others, I had been using Mapsource, I think it was 6124, and this was fine and worked with my MAP76S. Garmin MapSource is a handy software solution that was developed in order to help Garmin devices owners view various map documents as well as various waypoints, routes or tracks and transfer them.
. Donate to Openmtbmap - and download readily converted maps If you don't want to convert the maps, I converted the most popular openmtbmaps / velomaps ready to be used with Basecamp or Roadtrip in gmap format for Mac OSx. Simply look at the bottom of the download page for them (only available to donators) Don't convert but use Qlandkarte GT just accept that Garmin programs for Mac OSx are lousy - (well the whole OS is as lousy as Windows, but with fewer people using it, I wont give a damn for it - best treat your Mac hardware with a good OS like Ubuntu Linux instead of junk with nice eye candy). However Qlandkarte GT is working splendidly with the openmtbmaps, and is easy to learn. Only drawback is, that there is no autorouting support for garmin maps (yet).

You only need to extract the maps to a folder of your choice then use Qlandkarte GT. Don't convert but use gmapsupp.img import by Basecamp The irony of Basecamp for MacOSx not reading in the standard.img format, is topped up, by the fact that it reads the nearly identically structured gmapsupp.img files.

So use Windows Basecamp/Mapsource or gmaptool or mkgmap or sendmap to create a gmapsupp.img - put it on a external harddisk or flash memory (you could also put it onto your GPS, but than it's slower) and import it into Basecamp. This way you also don't have to actually convert the maps. Convert the maps: See several possibilities on how to do it below: Convert the maps with gmapibuilder To unzip you can use: Convert the maps yourself under Windows with tools provided by Garmin: Unfortunately you need an Windows installation for converting the maps. Principally you have to: 1.
Install the maps with install.bat under Windows (You have to have Mapsource installed) 2. Downlaod, install and run Garmin Map Converter for Windows 3. Downlaod and install the Mapstall/MapManager package to your Mac to complete the migration Garmin provides detailed instructions how to do this See also Alternatively you can use Sendmap to transfer the maps to your GPS (see Tutorial (still to be written)) You could also install Qlandkarte GT - you will have to compile it first though. Builds are only available for Windows (plus easy installation on Ubuntu - but probably added into repos soon anyhow). BTW: As all my maps are published under CCBYSA 2.0 / The new Openstreetmap Licence - you may share your mac map files freely - as long as you contribute openstreetmap.org and openmtbmap.org and stick to the same license.

Convert and Install the maps yourself using Mac OSX only (description provided by Tom): Required software.
I’m trying to convert the.gmap file to an img file on a Mac. All the instructions above are out of date and don’t work. For example in Tom’s (above) description he talks about unpacking the.exe file to get the.tbd and.bat files. Well there are no.exe files to extract in my map’s package contents. Also using JaVaWa doesn’t work as it can not find a.TBD file.

Inno setup tutorial. I have tried pskill and it reports success in killing the process, but it is still there.

The only Windows machine I have access to runs Windows XP and Basecamp won’t work on that as it needs a.NET framework which is not supported. Grrrr Any know how to do this on a Mac?
