Why I am not able to find GPS map on my Mac although I have downloaded it twice?


I purchased and downloaded Topo maps from Garmin for my GPS 60csx and cannot find the product code to unlock the map. I am working on a Mac. I have installed Garmin Map Manager and it does nothing when I click on it. I have installed Garmin Map Install and it says ‘No maps found.’ I have downloaded the maps twice and it took about 6 hours both times. I have attempted to activate USB storage on the GPS unit, thinking that was the problem, and it says ‘disk images failed to mount.’ What am I doing wrong? I did purchase a larger micro-SD card (4GB), and replaced the 1 GB card that came in the GPS with that. Why I am not able to find GPS map on my Mac although I have downloaded it twice?

It seems the bundle of problems occurred while using the product.

Garmin Map manger can be uninstalled and reinstall in order to resolve the problem.

  • Click the Garmin Lifetime Updater icon at the top of your screen (blue triangle)
  • Click Quit
  • Click Go
  • Click Applications
  • Click Garmin Lifetime Updater to re-launch the application

Uninstall and Reinstall the application

In any instances, where an issue may exist that will require the application to be removed from your system and re-installed.

To remove Garmin Lifetime Updater from your Mac drag the following files and folders into your Trash, then empty the Trash.

  • Open Macintosh HD
  • Click on the Applications folder
  • Drag the Garmin Lifetime Map Updater.app to the trash
  • Click on User folder
  • Choose the house icon (current user name)
  • Click on Library
  • Click on Preferences
  • Drag com.garmin.LifetimeMapUpdate.plist file to the trash

Installation of the Garmin Map:

Again when you download and install the map download the map in its .tgz format. Just double click the file to un-achieved it to a .gmapi format. Double click the .gmapi file to open MapManager and press the [Install] button. Once the mapset is installed (it will alert you to this), press the [Quit] button. The mapset is now installed.

By any chance if you are trying to download files by any other means, the default download location is Under Preferences, and then My Downloads
