I recently acquired a GPSmap276Cx with City Navigator North America NT. I installed Basecamp on my MS Surface Pro6 with Windows 10. I have researched loading maps from device to BC with no joy. Only answer I found is buy the map again. This doesn't seem right. When I try to access Routing in BC while connected to device, so I have access to map it is subdued and unavailable. When not connected to device I can access routing, but only in world map, and that isn't detailed enough to plan a route. I am a neophyte to basecamp, but not to computing. I was fairly proficient with mapsource, never had this issue in mapsource.

But, there is a great shareware program called JaVaWa GMTK that can be used to move an unlocked map set from one computer to another. http://www.javawa.nl/gmtk_en.html Do you know the person you bought the GPS from? Do they still have that version of CNNA on their computer. If so, they could use GMTK to back up that mapset to a SD card or thumb drive, and then you could restore that mapset to your computer using GMTK. Or, if you know anyone that has CNNA on their computer, you may be able to transfer their CNNA to yours using GMTK. I have found that having a version mismatch between your computer and GPS is not that big of a deal. Having said that, if your CNNA version on the GPS is really old, it may be worth the price to upgrade.
