I've seen this somewhere but can't find it now I need it! The UK/Northern Europe maps on my Basecamp are older than those on my new XT2. How do I update BC to the same map versions please ( trying to avoid any possible mismatch or recalcs when i transfer routes).
Thanks

Re: Updating Basecamp maps
Connect your XT2 to the PC via USB. Run Garmin Express, selecting the XT2. Click "Map Details", then "Options" under the City Navigator map, then "Install to Computer".
The old maps will remain on the PC until you uninstall them like any other program (Settings>Apps).
If you can spare the storage space, there is an advantage to keeping an old map version on the computer. Switching to the old map, recalculating a route, switching back to the new map and recalculating again can prevent a certain type of error.
But I can't remember what that error is...

Re: Updating Basecamp maps
Thanks Ikraus - I think the error is renaming of certain Route points - but I think jfheath seemed to think that was sorted with an update to the XT2.
In the process of doing that now - I was looking in the wrong area in Express!
Thanks again.
