I went to load up my GPS for next week's trip & discovered that I'm unable to put any of the previously downloaded topos I have onto my unit. When sending the image files BaseCamp now phones home to determine device activation status for the product. I think this is a departure from previous functionality... right? IIRC before if you had downloaded the maps they were yours forever and you could put them onto any supported device.
Maybe I am mistaken, but that's how I remember it being discussed as how it worked. Ultimately NABD for me as I already have BWCA and Q topographics installed already - I ran into the issue trying to do some housekeeping moving some maps from internal memory to the SD card.

Yes supported products only, the down load Birdseye maps are your files and can be reused and reinstalled, but only to Gamin registered products. I have my Birdseye on my home computer, can transfer them on and off the 62st, and Nuvi automotive units I have. Even swapped to a new home computer system last spring and after the Basecamp install I could re-install the imagery.
What were you attempting to transfer to?

Just a follow up to this - maybe Garmin fixed a loophole in their system? I definitely cannot put additional imagery onto my GPSr, even topos previously downloaded with the same unit. Interestingly enough, I can download additional topos but cannot push them to my device.... it gives a subscription error.
Maybe this was "resolved" via an update for BaseCamp? I'm running v4.7.2 for Windows.
