mapsource error

Hi. I have just downloaded mapsource ver. 6.13.7 and 6.15.7 per the links which I successfully did but hen I tried installing 6.15.7, it gave me an error saying that the earlier version of mapsource was not found. So, I installed version 6.13.7 but it says the same thing. Do you know a way to get around with the installation process so I can resume contributing again?

Hi hbt, Reiji0463,
I hope i'm on the correct thread now. Thanx for the advice earlier. Things are quite difficult with regard downloading of Mapsource because of a few items:

-I use a Mac, no software for the Mac so I have to use a pc laptop to get things going.
- Problems on DL of the Training Center and Mapsource on the pc, so I had to DL on Mac, then transfer it to pc to launch. So far, so good.
- Urgency and Excitement - I have 3 GPS that I want to get working for the Philippines and the intense need to do it right away (Leaving for Baguio on the weekend). So it just has to be ONE at a TIME.

Will try again and keep online.

Thanks

Reiji0463,

I don't have Kaspersky, I use Panda, and the seems to be no problem re launching the 2 software.

Will continue to try.

Any updates? Anyways, after you've successfully installed Mapsource in your PC, follow these steps so you'll have a MAC compatible Roadguide map:

1. Download and install MapConverter for Windows software version 2.1.1 on your Windows PC. Mapconvert will convert the Roadguide Mapsource map so that it will be compatible with MAC. Run Mapconvert to convert Roadguide Mapsource map.

2. Install RoadTrip for Mac software version 2.0.2 and MapInstall and MapManager for the Mac software version 2.1.5 in your MAC. Copy the converted Roadguide map to your MAC then install to Roadtrip using MapManager.

3. Check out Roadtrip and MapManager for the PDF help file so you'll learn the basics of using both software. You can also search the net for "How to's" in using Roadtrip.

no need to look for shops. our map is free. pls post the steps you've made so far so we can help you on installing.
just do remember to install training center first before installing mapsource. do not use v6.15.11. reason: CLICK HERE

the best way is...
you need mapsource to transfer the map to your unit.
you have to download mapsource first

its easy download these files, save first then run in order:
training center
mapsource 6.13.7
jklinc roadguide 1.07 basic map
open mapsource, select map tiles using map tool, send to gps unit.
roadguide map (the best PI map available) is not for sale. if you still have prob, post it.

Having trouble here

I am obviously not good enough with computers - I cannot load the map.
I installed the training center, then I installed mapsource 6.15.7.
I downloaded the jklinc_roadguide.ph_1.07_basic_map and adjusted the parameters in the.reg file to point to the map. The I imported this information into my registry.
How do I open the map now? Neither can I open any of the files in the folder via the file-->open... menu nor are any maps displayed in the Utilities--> manage map products menu.

pls help.

@Martin1977
how did you install the basic map? it is self-contained so upon execution, it should self-extract and try to import the registry settings. all you have to do is click on agree/next/yes.

after that, it should come up in mapsource. you might need to select the roadguide map from the drop-down box though.

thanks in advance
