Afry 1 Posted April 15, 2014 Well I need more then MapSource help but we can start there... When I loaded the program into my work desktop I also installed the Topo maps at the same time. Now when I want to open MapSource at work it won't let me do anything unless I have my Topo disk which is at home most of the time. Is there any way to bypass this "insert Topo disk" requirement or do I have to uninstall and re install MapSource without Topo maps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SICVIC 0 Posted April 15, 2014 If you're going to do a re install load the Base Camp. It's the newer version and just works better. Free from the Garmin site. It may solve you other problem as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SICVIC 0 Posted April 15, 2014 Now that I think about it more.... I think I did have to load that Topo on each computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

downs 1 Posted April 15, 2014 I was about to say to load Basecamp. Garmin dropped support for MapSource last year or year before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strega 0 Posted April 16, 2014 The nerd way to do it... Make a .iso of that Topo CD. (Google for directions on that) Then take that .iso to your work computer on a thumb drive and put it somewhere. Then use a program like "Daemon Tools" to mount that .iso like it's a CD Drive. (You might be able to mount that USB Thumb Drive as a CD Drive) Then run MapSource, and point it at that mounted drive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PbdBlue 46 Posted April 16, 2014 I assume this is an older version of Topo? The way to do it is first uninstall Topo from Windows (Remove Programs). Then make a directory titled Topo in the C:\Garmin directory. Copy the entire cd to that directory. Once that's done run the setup file that's in the C:\Garmin\Topo directory. In other words run the installed from the directory rather than the CD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
00yz250 0 Posted May 14, 2014 It sounds like you're using a really old Topo version. You'd be better off installing Garmin Basecamp and using the free California Topo map from GpsFileDepot: http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/view/523/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
