[BaseCamp] Basecamp won't recalulate

[Greg Horodeck]

Another method that might work is to formally register the unit with Garmin. Upon registration, they typically provide a free one-time update of the latest map. I did this for an old non-lifetime unit I purchased on eBay. The prior owner didn't register it and when I did, was provided with said update for the unit.

Disclaimer, I had other Garmin GPS at the time, so did have the latest map on my computer but believe that I could have used this update to download and update computer map.

Note, I register each of my devices using a different email address and password, so each one has its own account, making it easier to transfer to a new owner if/when I sell.

All's well.  Steve tip did t he trick and as there was a new map available, it's installed on the unit and the new computer.

Thanks all that posted.
