Garmin Mapsource installation on PC

[thecount]

Looking for info or point in the right direction.

Mapsourse is no longer supported by Garmin as a mapping source to add into the GPS custom routes.

 

Any advice to installing or instruction to installing to a new hard drive. My prior one (hard drive) is DOA, and no software to be found.

 

Thoughts?? Help? Recommendations?

 

Many thanks in advance for your expertise and advise.

I've been using the Honda Powersports Trip Planner for a while now and find it quite useful. Unlike some others, it lets you put in a specific route rather than putting in departure and arrival points with the planner filling in the route for you. Sometimes I like to deviate a bit from what the planner wants!

If you download and install basecamp then you will also get to use mapsource. I happen to like mapsource better than basecamp to continue to use it.

Try this

 

Step 1: Download latest version of MapSource from Garmin. http://www8.garmin.com/support/mappingsw.jsp

Step 2: Rename file extension to a .rar instead of .exe

Step 3: Use WinRar to extract to a folder (instead of running exe).

Step 4: Run MSmain.msi file, not Setup.exe

 

If that won't work for you let me know and I'll send you a link to the files...
