Maps from garmin to Basecamp.
Anyone know if it is possible to transfer the map from a garmin montana onto a PC so it shows in Basecamp without having to connect the GPS unit every time?

What sort of map, is it on an SD card?
I cloned an SD card map of Morocco using this idea onto a SD card that lived in the computers flash drive slot:

Re: Maps from garmin to Basecamp.
if the garmin map is unlocked just copy and paste to a new card..make sure the garmin file is inserted into a garmin folder otherwise it cant be read by basecamp..img etc...
or just download a opensource topo map to the basecamp maps folder on pc![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

The opensource maps are good value, but, in the past the mapping hasn't been as accurate as the paid for stuff, eg, a road junction shaped like a "T" has a gap between the two roads, so the laptop / GPS sees it as a no through road if your going up to the "T" junction and so routes you around a scenic route to go past the junction.
