The option to install maps from the Zumo XT2 to Basecamp has disappeared?

Post by Gelo »

I have updated the XT2 maps from Garmin Express but I can no longer find the option to install the maps on the PC.
Does anyone know how this problem has been solved or can be solved?
For me it is important to have the same maps on both the Zumo XT2 and Basecamp.
I have Garmin Express version 7.24.0.0.0 for what it's worth.
Thank you.

Have you seen this earlier thread?

TLDR:

Solution #1 - Go back to GE 7.23.
Solution #2 - Have a previous to the XT2 Garmin GPSR, so you can still do it, using the older tech GPSR.

Thank you,

I always thought that you could use Garmin Express of any version without any gps device connected to computer to install garmin maps on your computer only?

I don't think so. AFAIK, it uses the device as validation for the map, perhaps by checking the license on the device??? GE prompts you to plug in a device whenever you try to access anything related to maps without a device attached.
