To clarify -The internal memory of the older generation Garmin units does NOT appear as a mass storage device, and therefore will not appear as such if you attempt to 'explore' it. That feature did not occur until the old Colorado units started to appear on the market.Access to internal memory of the older units must be accomplished through an application (e.g., Mapsource, Basecamp) that can communicate with the unit over its proprietary link. That is true for loading maps, caches and any other I/O activity with these units.

Edited June 21, 2015 by ecanderson. Exactly, as this states in the FAQSome Garmin outdoor handheld devices can be put into USB mass storage mode, turning the device into a card reader and allowing an inserted microSD card to be read by a computer.

This card reader provides the ability to install detailed mapping to the device, in addition it provides the ability to locate active tracks that have been archived to the card. While in mass storage mode, these files can be viewed on the computer. However, there is no access to any data stored on the device itself while in this mode. Sorry about the delay in replying to the recent posts; unfortunately I have been having some problem with my pc. Anyway back on line now and I would like to thank all the people that replied, I understand a lot better now.

I have installed Basecamp (Mapsource requires me to own a product). I want to install a free map on my Garmin Etrex Vista Cx. I have the img file. I can't see how this can be done with Basecamp as reading the instructions it would seem that Basecamp does not allow this, unless I am missing something. Can anyone enlighten me?Trawling around the internet and this forum and came across Mapset Toolkit and i wondered whether this may help in my situation. It looks interesting but I am loath to download it as I have seen mention that it may not be safe, also it has not had any work done on it for some time.

The missing s01e02 sub. Any comments would be welcome.Thanks. Eventually got the map on my GPS (It's a pretty crap map - but that's another story).I tried creating a folder named Garmin under the SD Card and simply copying the img file onto the card, but unfortunately this did not work or I did something wrong.I then used img2gps to load the file onto the GPS. I had to try a few settings but eventually got it going directly through the Garmin interface (boy is that slow).By the way the link to img2gps did not work.

I downloaded from www.softpedia.com.All I need to do now is find a better UK mapThanks very much for all your help.
