I updated previous post so you can see the images...

I will try your recipe for mapsource views, will come back with results.

Thanks again

No luck with MapSource either, but your email gave me food for though... and got a cue that points to a solution...

I found what I was doing bad in MapSource, I was trying to do a file/open (no IMG can be selected, no gmap,...), while it directly shows map installed as gmap (the one you pointed to, for "basecamp"). Mapsource directly opens the map as you said (when there is only one) or a box just under "file" with a selector - it is only shown if there are more than one maps... So, I was unable to saw anything until I loaded the maps that way and found how to see them...

Computerteddy maps do not have download for Basecamp that seems to be what you are using (so, gmap format), only IMG (suc as this one; no France, just a bit of Europe, France included: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] )

Basecamp can read the IMGs from a "virtual device" (such as a USB with IMGs inside a folder called Garmin ...), but it is unable to generate/transfer tiles of non-garmin original files ;-(

While both MapInstall and MapSource are able to generate tiles for non-garmin IMG mapsets, you have to get those installed before, and that involves, for MapInstall, to use GMapTool to load it into the registry; for MapSource, to have them as gmap.

What I found out is that my problem with the computerteddy map is that GMapTool creates a preview map that has the issue with the zoom. So, it is not the original Computerteddy IMG, but the output of GMapTool - zoom levels for preview are not suitable (for me at least) and there seems no way to change how GMapTool nor the command line gmt.exe use levels for the output preview file.

I am now trying to find other way to load IMGs into MapInstall and/or MapSource. MapSetTool seems unable to create loaders for mapset IMGs (still tinkering). Other ways involve using Garmin MapConverter, Javawa Mapconvertenr, GMapTool+MSTK, ... Looks this might be the way...

Will report back...

TIA again,
