MapInstall bug?

Is your SD card in the Nuvi when you are selecting regions to load?

Using the latest version of MapInstall and having the full version of CN North America 2013.10 on my computer, I see a similar issue to what you are getting if I have the SD card in the Nuvi.

If a put the SD card in the card reader on my computer and disconnect the Nuvi from it, I then can run MapInstall and it reads 0 maps selected until I start selecting regions to add to the card.

If you have the SD card in the Nuvi and run MapInstall, I think your problem may have something to do with the program reading 2013.10 data from both your computer and the connected Nuvi preinstalled maps.

the SD card was installed when I was doing this yesterday. I've since tried a few variations based upon you comments and haven't had any result. It still gives me the warning about loading Mexican maps.

I don't have any maps on the SD card presently, just the JCV file.

uninstalled and re-installed some stuff and there has been no change. I have never seen an option permitting me to select where files will be installed (Nuvi vs. SD card). I'm still getting the warning about illicit Mexican maps.

Here's the warning message I keep seeing:

I notice when I boot the device now that there's some mention of Mexican maps being installed on my brand new device purchased via Amazon. What's up with that?

I'll get a screen shot later.

If your 1450 only came with the lower 49 states when it was new, I don't think you can add other regions such as Canada or Mexico via a map update. You would need to purchase these maps separately from Garmin. The map update installer will only unlock the region that was pre-installed on the nuvi when it was new.

I'm supposed to have Can and USA. I also see a country in S America on the list of things I can select plus some stuff in the Caribbean. I don't think I have anything in Mx and I can't select any Mexican locations via the MapInstall program.

Can I selectively remove a Canadian province, for example?

I found the current MapInstall to be buggy. However, a modified version I downloaded to allow map installs to any drive seems to work perfectly. Find a copy of that modified file and replace the Garmin installed file with the modified file.

The country you are seeing in South America is French Guiana, it is available on lower 48 states only and the full North America including Mexico map versions.

I am seeing these warnings about Mx.

When I boot the device I see this (truncated) text at the bottom edge of the screen:

"The data for Mexico contains certain data from Instituto Nacional de Est.."

I suspect the truncated text is:

Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía

it says:

CN North America NT 2013.10
[1] US & Canada

Have you tried a hard reset yet?
If not backup your favorites and give that a try.

If no results I would download the map again, perhaps your last download received a corrupted map.

For US & Canada Maps there should be nothing on that map regarding Mexico. But as mentioned French Guiana will be included.

...but certainly can. I've got backups and a couple of whole system images.

I think I figured out what happened but certainly don't know why.

I can see three different map sets available within BaseCamp:

Global Map, Version 2.0, not lockable, installed in Program Files on computer

CN NA NT 2013.10, Version 20.13, not lockable, installed on the 1450

CN NA NT 2013.10, Version 16.10, Unlocked, installed in My Documents on computer

It's this last map that is causing the Mexican problem. I zoomed into Mexico City and this map shows lots of cities throughout the country and very main highways. The map does NOT appear to be navigable as it shows no minor roads or streets.

When viewing the 20.13 version, I see far less detail in Mexico, in general. When viewing the Global map, I see essentially no detail or cities, just a few prominent highways, as I would expect.

I guess I need to delete the 16.10 version of the map and attempt the download again. Maybe they'll send me the correct verison of the map

In MapInstall, I see that it permits me to select from two different 2013.10 map sets, but no version information is shown. I know the second map set displayed in the list is the "problem" Mexican map set. If I select the first map set shown, I can install maps without getting the warnings about Mx.

I'm confused, but will read it again.

I have two different versions of the 2013.10 map. One is wrong and should not have downloaded to my computer, the other is right.
