Basecamp 4.6 2 Mac Download
Tanesha Prately
The instructions for importing the maps on the Basecamp wiki suggest that double clicking the .gmapi file will invoke MapManager to import the maps ready for BaseCamp. I am at a loss to where the .gmapi file is - my Mac is also convinced there are none here...
I concurrently downloaded the OSM generic file to copy to the card in my Garmin, but need the detailed maps on my Mac to plan my routes. The global basemap does not have any usable detail for Thailand.
Up till I upgraded to el Capitan, i was able to install maps to basecamp on my mac. I tried all the aboveanswers[moderator edit after conversion to comment], but now i'm unable to install the OSM maps on my computer. I wish someone could help,
I have had the same battle for years. Every time I take a 'trip' (yearly) I stress because I cannot load maps from OSM to garmin with mac. I even stumbled onto a OSM thread about my case (my screenshot) from oct 2008...I recognize the setup. STILL can't do it correctly and spend more time than my vacations trying to get it to work. Pretty sad. I can get the gmap, but not the .img...hit and miss. I am about ready to give up on maps and just use my topo that i have.
OK. After file is unzipped, create a new folder. Give it the same name as GMAP folder. Move Gmap folder inside new folder. Then add .gmapi to the name of new folder. That will change it to a gmapi file. Double click it and install.
This is the answer that worked for me. The new folder can't have an extension in the name because you won't be able to add the .gmap folder if it has one. After putting the .gmap folder into the new folder you created, give that new folder the same name as the .gmap folder but with .gmapi as the extension. As Trint Cole describes :-)
You need to download the "osm generic macosx.zip" and this will extract to the file "OSM generic routable(THA_19-01-2015).gmap" and that when double-clicked will install on the mac using Garmin MapManager.app I think and Basecamp on the Mac will load it fine. It worked for me ok.
You may have downloaded the Windows or Linux file by mistake or got amongst the "Nullsoft Scriptable Installer script used to create the BaseCamp/MapSource installer." which is probably a Windows thing?
I am using el capitain. I have followed the renaming new folders advice above, and still nothing good. Finder simply opens the new folder.gmapi when I double click, Basecamp browser launched from 'Import into My Collections' also simply opens the folder and leaves the 'import' button greyed out. Should I be using a different command from within Basecamp? Do I need anythign else installed on the MAC to make a double click in Finder work? My maps were created by garmin.opensetreemap.nl, and I am using the OSX.zip
I finally found a solution. Actually still cannot import directly in basecamp as i used to but......!!!!!! After about a year of no more new OSM maps on my basecamp (mac osx el capitan), I just installed a new map for the first time again. :-)the solution for me is: don't import into basecamp (I stopped trying, none of the above helped me and couldn't find a solution). Instead: paste the map directly into the gps, then connect the gps to the computer and basecamp imports the map from the gps.
Garmin Leslie you are closing all the threads down with GPSmap67 questions as not inReach as far as I can see the issues are exactly the same for the GPSMap67i inreach models with exactly the same issues.
The GPSMap67i inReach model in system settings - usb mode has exactly the same options as the GPSMap67 i.e either MTP or Garmin, I have also tried a GPSMap67i at work and cannot get Basecamp software on a Mac to recognise the device, MTP usb setting on a Mac does not work with Basecamp software on a Mac, will you be adding Garmin Serial to the usb settings on the GPSMap67i that does work with the GPSMap66i and Basecamp for Mac ?
I have tried this extensively. I have managed to get the device showing on basecamp but the maps will just not load. I tried for about 24hours over the course of 8-10 days. tonight I spent 2.5 hrs waiting for maps to try and load and it was impossible. The maps will not show up on basecamp. All my software is up to date on all devices. I have tried on two MacBooks. The device is unusable for me
Hi Garmin-Leslie, to be honest the advice in the article you link to doesn't make a lot of sense. It tells you to install Android File Transfer, and then to fully quit the application. What is then the use of having Android File Transfer installed? It does not installl any extensions that enable MTP support on MacOS whatsoever.
For me (and Nikolechat in this thread) what is needed to get the unit recognized in Basecamp is to fully quit Garmin Express. Since only one application can use the MTP connection, Basecamp won't see the unit if Garmin Express is running and the unit is connected.
And even when Basecamp recognizes the GPSMAP 67 series, it still has problems loading the maps on it. For example on with unit Basecamp only shows the DEM EU Map, but the TopoActive maps are shown as "Valid Chart Product Not Found".
Since the GPSMAP 67 series will not show up as a Volume or Drive in Finder, you must use a utility like Android File Transfer to directly access files on the unit. But again it is not required to have Basecamp recognize the unit.
Hello, I just finished my CustomerXM Exam and I did not pass only for 1 question (67/100). But that's not the real problem. I just saw some other community students with the same problem as mine. Some questions are not even in the BaseCamp information or guide. Its not fair to put lot of time and exactly study and review from the Basecamp info and go to the Exam and find questions that are not related to the study guide. Clearly one of those questions are the reason of missing the test. Also, how can I get the exam review, the correct and wrong answers to be able to know what I fail?

Yes, it does happen ! But unfortunately there isn't a way to actually go back and review which questions were right and wrong.
I believe none of the question are way out of line they are related to the content included in the basecamp.
Hope it helps!
Hi Deepak, thanks for you answer. If some people in the community already talked about this issue "some questions being not totally related to the content in the basecamp" it might be something to take into account. Also, its a matter of rights to be able to revise the exam questions, more over if you are paying a considerable amount of $ to get the certification. Do you know if there is possible to have a live session to revise my answers and/or questions that are not part of the basecamp? I am a current user of Qualtrics for more than one year in my company and I have the essential certification + a considerable amount of hours spent revising the basecamp and doing all the exercises. It seems fair to me to have a revision of my exam.
