Hi Guys
Wondering if someone can help. I have two computers, one is a laptop.
I will be travelling oversea soon and wish to take the laptop with me. I currently have 2 maps loaded on to my maim system, Australia and NZ. I want to take the Australia map detail with me on the laptop for use with mapsourse etc.
The map, on the laptop will load but as soon as I try and zoom in I get no detail and a yellow "OVERZOOM" in the bottom right of the map.
I have reloaded several times and still no luck.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Rod

The license agreement permits you to load MapSource to another computer that you own.
Overzoom in MapSource doesn't mean anything bad. It just means that there's no additional data available by zooming in. I get it when I'm zoomed to 300 feet. Sometimes at 500 feet depending upon the map.
Ok - But why will the second
Ok - But why will the second not show local streets, it only shows major roads etc
Unlock?
The map, on the laptop will load but as soon as I try and zoom in I get no detail and a yellow "OVERZOOM" in the bottom right of the map.
Have you loaded the "Unlock Code" for the map, on the laptop - using the "Unlock Wizard"? I think a *locked* map defaults to no detail.

Did you unlock it with the GPS unit connected to your computer?
No - why
No - why
Detail?
What level of detail have you elected in the drop down menu?
Nuvi 660 -- and not upgrading it or maps until Garmin fixes long-standing bugs/problems, and get maps to where they are much more current, AND corrected on a more timely basis when advised of mistakes.
On the main computer at 200
On the main computer at 200 metre I get local roads.
On the map on the laptop I get nothing. I just trying a reload now.

No - why
I'm pretty sure that that's required in order to fully unlock the maps.
At what stage of the map
At what stage of the map load do I connet the Unit?

What version of the MapSource program is on your computer?
The latest version is 6.13.7.
If you aren't running the latest version, download the update from Garmin's website and install it. Don't use the update tool within MapSource.
