    no, basically BC is made to read gmapsupp.img files from devices or gmapsupp.img files from devices sd, to read from C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Maps, you must have the pc version installed

    Ah, so that is what Giomen mentions in post #13 above!

    I didn't realise there was a separate version of the maps for use with Basecamp on a pc. When I installed Basecamp it created the folder C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Maps but it was empty. I tried copying the map from my nuvi to this folder but it didn't show up in Basecamp.

    I shall look into getting the pc version of the maps. It would be good to have the maps available on my laptop - although I guess storing the normal map on a SD card or else with the nuvi plugged in is okay too.
