Some Garmin mapping can be viewed while the connected device is in BaseStation mode*. This can be used to view real time position data on top of the detailed mapping.

In order to view mapping in BaseCamp during BaseStation mode, you must use one of the following mapping options:

Mapping that is preloaded/preprogrammed on a microSD or SD card: This must be loaded to the original card and cannot be copied.
Mapping downloaded from the Garmin website: This must be loaded to microSD or SD card and not to the device's internal memory.
Mapping installed via DVD: This must be installed on the computer directly and cannot be read from a card or a device's internal memory.

To view mapping stored on a microSD or SD card, the card must be inserted into a card reader and plugged into your computer. Once the device is connected and in BaseStation mode, the mapping will automatically display. Mapping installed directly to the computer through a DVD can be selected via the Maps option on the BaseCamp menu bar.

*BaseCamp may require a software update in order to display the micro/SD card mapping in BaseStation mode. Visit the BaseCamp page to update this software. Please see related content for more information on BaseStation mode.
