Moving Garmin Maps to new Mac computer

Have you tried doing a back up of Base Camp on the old computer, copying it to a USB drive and using that to do a restore to Base Camp on the new computer?

The backup function in Base Camp does not save the maps.

I’ve seen Javawa GMTK recommended elsewhere, though I haven’t used it myself.

NVM, I’m obviously not reading things very closely.

“I’ve seen Javawa GMTK recommended elsewhere, though I haven’t used it myself.”

Unfortunately that program won’t work on new Macs as it’s a 32-bit program and new Macs will only run 64-bit programs.

Javawa GMTK would be perfect. I remember using this in the past. Unfortunately it has not been supported for a long time, and will not run on my old or new computer.

Do you have an Apple Time Machine image from the old machine? You could copy the specific folders or files to the new machine.  If you still have the old machine, you can select to migrate data only or apps only. I don’t recall if you can select specific apps or specific files.

Unfortunately, Apple’s Migration Assistant doesn’t allow you to pick individual applications to move.

Have you tried calling Garmin???

I’m always amazed that questions show up here before actually contacting the ones who would know… :)

Call Garmin for help adding third party maps. You’re joking.

No… not joking…

I am still unable to move my old maps but I have installed one map from the internet. I will probably just renew my subscription to https://openmtbmap.org/#gsc.tab=0 and get up to date maps.

Why not export then import?

The export option dose not include maps.

Grab your maps here https://support.garmin.com/en-GB/?faq=QiFbhYPah76hheXIrrbYM6#:~:text=Browse%20to%20C%3A%5CDocuments,%5CApplication%20Data%5CGARMIN%5CMaps

Then put them in your maps directory on the Mac. If that doesn’t work-
