I've been using Mapsource for maybe 3~4 years... During that time I have formatted my computer and re-install training center and mapsource again and again without any problem... In fact just few months ago I formatted my laptop and re-install Training center and
mapsource and faced no problem at all...
However, my laptop mess up again when I uninstall some of trial software so I have to re-format my laptop again. As usual I re-install training center first and then mapsource, but to my surprise, when I launch mapsource, there is no map at all. Even after I download and install free malfreemap for garmin... I have done this more than 10 times before but never face this problem...
I'm scratching my head now.. hope forumers can help. Thank you...
After Mapsource loaded, update with latest from Garmin Website ( 6.163 ).
Also when running Mapsource, under select a product menu, make sure a map set map is selected.

Bro, just follow Bro Moeyhc' s step-by-step instruction as below:
moeyhc wrote:[snip]
- Make a folder in C Drive called Garmin (C:\Garmin)
- Copy a file (any file will do, size doesn't matter too) into this C:\Garmin folder
- rename the copied file to Mapsource.exe
- Run the Garmin installer
- Follow the onscreen instructions to install Mapsource
- Install a MfM map (note: Mapsource will not start unless there is at least one map installed)
- Done

1. Download mapsourse.
2. Use winrar to extract the exe file.
3. Find main.msi file & setup.exe
4. Install main.msi
5. Install setup.exe
that should do it
