I finally got the maps off of the cd I got. There are maps for the entire west coast of North and South America. So worse case I have them on my PC should I want to look at them in Mapsource.
After that the first challenge was the Garmin card reader uses a driver that only works on 32 bit machines. So after much todo I loaded it on an older computer. And burned some of the maps onto your chip. Seemed to work fine. The maps are on there (unfortunately your old maps aren't any longer). But when I took it to the boat it said the were locked for that device. The issue is it has to be configured to work on my GPS which is controlled by Mapsource. You can only register two GPS's. Not problem I've only registered one, so I try and register the other. Two, or was it three, hours later still not registered. Get half way through the nightmare and it crashes. So, I'm going to take everything back to the bare bones and start again - i.e. revert to earlier versions of the software. Then I'm going to try and register my second GPS before I upgrade maps, etc. I'm likely going to need that cable to get my old GPS on the system and my old map. This will allow me to go after Garmin support. Did you have an extra on your boat? The guy I got it from says he can do it for me if all else fails, but I'm suspicious he won't run into the same problems.
