MapInstall 4.2.0 is broken. You will get it by updating to Basecamp 4.7.0 - however also individual update can happen. MapInstall 4.3.2 (part of Basecamp 4.8.4) is fixed - but so far only available to Apple Mac OS x users - not for Windows. Note however that Basecamp 4.8.4 only runs okay using english - if you use a translated version be prepared for many serious bugs\/problems.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Garmin released a new version of Basecamp - 4.7.0 - in order to remove many features that were not in accordance with the GDPR regulation. Actually it's not that 4.6.2 is wrong here - it's that there were a few web services - that Garmin switched off - and those were interlinked into 4.6.2 - so that actually in 4.6.2 some functionality is not working anymore - I could on a quick check however not discover any actual difference otherwise in relation to the GDPR regulations - so 4.6.2 is no different in this regard to 4.7.0 - well and new privacy page\/EULA of course).<\/span><\/p>\n The big problem is that Basecamp 4.7.0 also ships an updated version of Garmin MapInstall - and that version is broken in so far that it does not reliably\/correctly send any maps in .img format anymore! This also applies to original older garmin maps.<\/span><\/p>\n On Windows instead of the actual map - only the overview map is sent - so you will have a nearly \"empty\" map. <\/span><\/p>\n On Mac OS x the problem with MapInstall 4.2.0 is that it will often crash while sending maps. This got fixed with MapInstall 4.3.2<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Switch to the relevant tab for information on how to downgrade to Basecamp 4.6.2\/4.6.3 on Windows respectively Mac OS x<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you are a Windows user and upgraded to 4.7.0 you have 4 choices:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Actually right now only a part of the overview map is sent - it would be nice if Garmin could send the overview maps in general too - as right now they are only used on Desktop. Would actually speed up the GPS devices a bit - especially if you have no activated Basemap on your device.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Restore Tracks\/Routes that you created in Basecamp 4.7.0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n If you chose to downgrade Basecamp and already created tracks\/routes with 4.7.0 you will need to restore them. While updating\/downgrading does not delete any of your data - routes\/tracks that you planned with Basecamp 4.7.0 will not appear in Basecamp 4.6.2 after downgrade - only routes\/tracks that you had planned before the 4.7.0 update will show up.<\/span><\/p>\n To solve that go to:<\/span><\/p>\n C:\\Users\\YOUR_USERNAME\\AppData\\Roaming\\Garmin\\BaseCamp\\Database\\<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n (note AppData is a hidden folder - you may have to enable windows file explorer to show hidden files and folders)<\/span><\/p>\n Now you rename folder 4.6 to 4.6.backup and 4.7 to 4.7.backup<\/span><\/p>\n Copy folder 4.7.backup and Rename it to 4.6<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In Case of Problems with Reinstalling Basecamp - downgrading MapInstall:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Deinstall All Garmin tools\/programs via Windows \"Change or Remove a Program\". Then delete the Garmin Folder\u00a0 in \"C:\\Program Files (x86)\". Then Reinstall all Garmin tools\/Programs and make sure to use old enough versions (as linked here).<\/span><\/p>\n IMHO you do not need to clean the registry of any Garmin entry, nor do you need to remove any Garmin folders that are somewhere else then Program Files folders (so far all Garmin tools are x86 and not 64 bit - it's possible this will change in future - so then also delete Garmin folder inside \"C:\\Program Files\".<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n You can still downgrade to 4.6.3 for the missing functionality. However MapInstall 4.3.2 or later\u00a0 is fixed (at least with the download directly from Garmin or from here - the Mac Appstore version sometimes does not update MapInstall) - so just make sure not to use Basecamp 4.7. and if you upgrade to Basecamp 4.8.4 or later.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can Either Downgrade\/Upgrade MapInstall only, Or Downgrade Mapinstall and Basecamp<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n While windows users have good alternatives to Garmin MapInstall - on OS x the only real alternative is to use mkgmap.jar to create gmapsupp.img files. That is not so easy to do and requires Java JDK properly configured. However MapInstall 4.3.2 is fixed - so either downgrade to Basecamp 4.6.3 or upgrade to Basecamp 4.8.4 or later.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Basecamp for OS x can be downloaded here:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Current Version Garmin Basecamp<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Garmin Basecamp 4.6.3 for Mac<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n (here you find all Garmin Tools for\u00a0 Mac OS x for download - if you miss something else)<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n MapInstall and MapManager for Mac can be downloaded here:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n
