How to setup our maps on your windows PC

In order to be able to use your SD card information on your Computer, you will need to download the computer Version once you register your product. In Order to see the downloaded maps on your computer, you will need MapSource/BaseCamp already on your computer.(It will be in front of the product name you just registred called "Computer Download").

Installing the Computer Version on windows:

Step 1) Download the file and save it on your desktop so you can find it easily later on. After the download is complete, you will see the icon in the picture below. (Keep in mind your desktop image will look different than the one below).

Step 2) Double click the .exe file you just downloaded and press "Unzip". It may appear as the installation has frozen, but you MUST wait untill the "Backroad" dialog box (see image in Step 3) is displayed.  Cancelling your installation at this stage will lead to instability in mapsource and our map imagery may not be copied and installed properly.
