Using my new version of the Map of the Pines, all of the special landcover features don't really work right (as expected). It will still look like an ugly Mapsource map, but it will have more detail than US Topo.

If this happens, switch the the Garmin topo map, zoom in to an area of interest, then select the PC basemap from the dropdown menu. I found that it defaulted to the 1500 mile zoom level so I couldn't see anything. Open mapsource again and choose the PC basemap - you will now be looking at the map of the pines. img file (gmapsupp.img from your gps) to this folder and rename it pc_basemap2.img. Rename this file something else - I called it pc_basemap2.old. You will see a file named pc_basemap2.img. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the following folder: My Computer > Local Disk C: > Garmin > PCBSMP2. Now start MapSource and confirm that you have the PC Basemap option under the map dropdown menu.

Quit from the installer when it wants to install the USB drivers (they aren't needed).

Download the program from this link and install. If you download and install the program this file will be added to the dropdown map list when you run Mapsource. But it includes a very simple basemap file to display a map on your PC. Garmin makes a program called "training center" which is somehow used with their sport GPS'es to plan workouts (never tried it myself).

Otherwise, here's how to download the PC basemap. If you see another listing for "PC basemap" then skip the following paragraph. If you only have the topo maps then the list will probably only consist of them and "no map". First, start Mapsource and look at the list of available maps using the dropdown menu.
It should be pretty easy to remove if you don't like it. I don't think there's much harm in this, but use it completely at your own risk.
I have found a "hack" to install the map and it seems to work - sort of. I'm just not a Windows person - only use it for mapmaking - and am scared to mess with the registry! Then there would be the issue of needing to uninstall the maps and reinstall with each new version. These relate to product codes, preview files and the Windows registry. There seem to be a variety of issues involved with making proper files which will install in Mapsource. I have decided not to support MapSource at the current time. Unfortunately it's not this easy to open a file in MapSource.

I should have an update available sometime over the holidays. The cool thing is that you should also be able to apply these new styles to Garmin's own US Topo maps by adding a small config file to your existing mapsets. I have come up with a transparent background for the wetlands pattern which looks more like a USGS topo and doesn't obliterate the park areas. And any wetlands areas cover up the park outlines, making it hard to tell if a swamp is on private or public land. The new version has a pale green background which cures this. First, the park areas are rendered in a very dark green which makes the roads hard to see. Two things have always bothered me about Garmin's maps on the Nuvi. I used my newest version during this morning's commute and am pretty happy so far. I am still learning the tricks of customizing the map appearance, but there's a lot which can be done. The next version will also be greatly improved visually, especially on the Nuvi. I made a stupid mistake and used some overlapping data, but the Census Bureau also seems to have a lot of duplicates in Atlantic County for some reason. We also discovered there are a number of duplicate POI's. Guy (TeeGate) is editing and augmenting this now, so there will be lots of great new stuff and corrections. The next release will have a new and greatly improved POI database. You would then have to remove it later when the new version comes along. With this first version I thought it might be best not to install in mapsource, since it's definitely a beta. You can also import/export your waypoints or tracks in that program (I think). In the meantime I suggest you use GPSMapEdit to view the map on your PC. There should be an easy way to get the map into mapsource, but I just haven't taken the time to figure it out. I guess there are some differences between the nuvi models. Glad that you didn't get the crashes I was experiencing 46er.
