#USING GARMIN MAPINSTALL INSTALL#
Problem is, it is easy to remove the current BaseCamp then download & install Base Camp 4.6.2 but reverting to the older MapInstall is a real bugger as just downgrading Base Camp won't remove your current (wonky) MapInstall. There is a problem with the newest BaseCamp upgrade (actually a down grade on functions)- & a BIG problem with the newest Map install, so most of us power users have back graded to the older BaseCamp 4.6.2 & the older MapInstall-4.0.4. If you let the Garmin Express do the install it will probably try to only load part of the country or load only Canada & surrounding.Īlso for the 2020.2 to work in the Z-550 it MUST be named Gmappron on the main drive & as Gmapsupp on the SD card (if it is named something else then the Zumo 550 won't read it). Your Zumo 550 won't hold the entire map on the Zumo main drive so it will have to be split between the main drive & the SD card. If you have MapSource installed then that actually works better to install new maps to older Garmin GPS units. If you actually have the 2020.2 then you might get Mapinstall to load it. Well!, you can keep playing with it but that is a problem at times.įirst, make darn sure that your 2020.2 map is in the C/program data/Garmin/Maps folder.
When I run MapInstall to select map segments to load on the Garmin and the SD card, the drop down for the map ONLY SHOWS 2019.2. Next, I tried to run MapInstall to load the map to my motorcycle GPS, a Zumo 550 with an SD Card. I ran BaseCamp on my PC and the I have two maps the old 2019 map and the new 2020.2 map. The update was successful and the Nuvi has the new map. I used Garmin Express to download the new maps 2020.2 to the Device and Computer. I have done this before and kept notes of my procedure, but I have run into a puzzle. I am trying to update the lifetime maps in two Garmin GPS devices.
