Are you on the latest Basecamp? That would be Basecamp 4.5.2.1. The past
few updates have included Google Earth bug fixes.  Also you should be on
the latest Google Earth, which is 7.1.5.1557. Get on those versions. Just
for shits and giggles, reboot. Then launch Google Earth, then Mapsource. It
should work.  I just tested it on my PC.
