I am not interested in IT when I plan a hiking trips. Some poeple go so far as to keep a Windows Vista installation so that it can work with Mapsource.

Most people I know (here in Africa) use Mapsource. I always have to spend hours just to get the thing to install. My opinion: Garmin has good hardware but their PC software has detoriated so much over the years that I will NEVER buy a garmin again. So then I tried to create a Windows 7 VM in Oracle Virtual box. So I also converted the VM disk (VHDX) to (VHD) and tried to open it with Oracle Virtual box. (I also tried this : created a Windows7 VM with Hyper-V.the problem is that one cannot (AFAIK) get a USB port to work with a VM in Hyper-V. When the installation is finished, close the Basecamp installer wizard. Go back to the Temp directory and open the folder 7zSxxxx.tmp, were xxxx is a random alpha/numeric string.ģ.ĝouble click the file BCMAIN.msi.

Rich at Garmin support assisted to solve this.

I am running Windows 10 N Enterprise 64bit. I tried to install Mapsource - but Mapsource depends on Basecamp. I received the error that Windows Media Player is not available and the installer then exited.
