can't read map on basecamp
hi, I'm a newbie here and I would like to have some help.
I purchased a gps map for Garmin according to what the seller say this map only can be read on the gps.i tried to plug my Garmin on my computer and sadly it is right I can't read it with basecamp.that is a hunting topo map that I was planing to use with basecamp to get ready for the hunting season by creating route a waypoint of were I'd like to go but unfortunately it's really hard to find interest point on a small gps screen.
is there a way that I can get this map to work with basecamp or anything else.ichimonji Reviewed by ichimonji on . can't read map on basecamp hi, I'm a newbie here and I would like to have some help.

It seems to be a Raster Map, I guess.
I also think you have received the Map in a microSD, try to Insert it into a PC Reader slot.
Basecamp should read Map directly, unless Map itsself has MS flag set to 1

Try this:
Use a USB stick, create a folder Garmin in the stick, copy the map file (xxx.img) to the usb stick Garmin folder.
Now work with the map file in the usb stick. Get gimgunlock-0.04 and run it in the stick (if the map is locked this will do for BaseCamp use)
Also get Gmaptool in order to set the flag Ms to 0 (if it is 1 the map will not vi visible in BaseCamp)
The tools can be found in this forum and is not very difficult to use and since you are working with a copy things can go wrong without loosing the map (it will not go wrong ;-))
