I had to look up madmaps to see what they were. It seems that they are compatible with the Zumo so that isn't the problem.
In Mapsource click on:
Transfer
Receive from Device
You will get the choice of what to transfer. The choices are:
Maps
Waypoints
Routes
Tracks
GPSMAP 76CSx - nüvi 760 - nüvi 200 - GPSMAP 78S
.
You can't see the MadMaps in MapSource. They only work on the GPS unit. If you go to the Zumo forums (www.zumoforums.com), you will find an extensive discussion regarding the use of the MadMaps on the Zumo.
Also, if you want to view your Custom POIs in MapSource, you will have to convert each file to a GPX and then you can open each one in MapSource. MapSource won't read CSV or GPI files.
