If this is the case, you need to address that issue by either installing the map correctly, or by maybe re-formatting the MicroSD or SD card, or trying another card instead. If the map is not working on either the internal storage or a MicroSD or SD card in the Garmin device, then the issue is NOT with BaseCamp either the card or the map has become corrupted or is not correctly installed.

Make sure the Opacity slider is set correctly or the map will be invisible!.

The Detail setting should be set to 5 (otherwise not all the available data will be shown).

If you create a Route without using one of QMapShacks own routing methods (offline or online) you will end up with straight lines (as the crow flies) routes.

The routing in the IMG file is ignored, so creating a route in QMapShack will not use the routing data in the IMG file.

Most POIs are selectable, but some are not rendered correctly (not sure why).

DEM data in the map is ignored (you can use QMapShacks own DEM features instead).

It will not read BaseCamp versions of the maps, only the GPS versions.

Please note: That although it pretty much renders the map the same way as on a Garmin device (or in BaseCamp) there are some limitations in the way that QMapShack works, these include: Here are a few screen shots of QMapShack (running in Windows 10) showing my British Isles map: Once installed it can be set to read the folder where you have map files in Garmin IMG format (single map files, not single map tiles).

There are also Windows (64 bit) versions and Mac versions available too although I would suggest using BaseCamp instead as it offers more features on those operating systems. for Ubuntu you would use the following command (as root):

#Qmapshack linux install

You can install QMapShack via your usual way on Linux, e.g. You can find out more about QMapShack via the links below: I don't love BaseCamp but I can use it well enough to plot a route for the National Rally in less time than it takes to complete the event.The GPS version of the maps will work in the OpeSource desktop application known as QMapShack (this is the nearest that you can get to Basecamp on Linux, without installing WINE and trying to get BaseCamp to work via that).

If you value open-source software :blagblah (you can get the source code and modify it to your heart's content) over free but closed-source commercial offerings, or you're only prepared to run an open-source OS like Linux then QMapShack might suit but it's looking like too much work for an undefined benefit. The reality is that the amount of data needed means that a cheap device won't hold enough and an expensive one defeats the object of the exercise. My thinking behind this was that a cheap Chromebook that supported Linux apps might be more convenient when away from home.

How to save them and convert to routes for re-use will be for another day, as will be learning how to create a route from scratch and transfer it to a device. Certainly it finds track logs, including a few I wan't aware were on the Nuvi. It seems to connect well to my antique Nuvi and Zumo. What's not needed can be deleted but extrapolating from the UK and Ireland, which was 1.2 GB to download, it's going to need about 10GB of disc space over and above the maps.

There is also the Routino engine available but to use it you need to download a huge database (22Gb for all of Europe) which is then crunched very slowly to create what's needed. The MapQuest engine is pre-installed but that needs an Internet connection to work. Once you've got maps you need to sort out a routing engine. One good thing appears to be that duplicate tiles when several maps are activated causes no problems. Downloading zipped gmapprom.img files from OSM works fine once you've sorted out where to put them but copying one from a Nuvi didn't work as it doesn't support the NT map format. To get back on topic: I spent the day experimenting and my initial conclusion is that QMapShack is way more challenging than Basecamp to use. And what's a "schit sledge" when it's at home?
