They probably didn't change the version number because they didn't change the software, just how it was bundled for downloading. I'm running XP with all the service packs, haven't even tried the UnlockWizard. 27 version not recognizing my Topo maps, the Dec. I think they are also working on re-posting 6.11.5 as legacy So they download that huge elephant and then it doesn't work on their At this point that means upgrading MapSource itself, When it contacts the server, it is told it is out of date and they OSes try to install a new product, which runs the UnlockWizard on theirĬD. MapSource 6.11.6 no longer supports Windows 98/Me/NT. What the heck is this bigger(?) better(?) MapSource 6.11.6, anyway? My more important question is whether I should risk installing the December 7 package, given the possible bugs some users have reported. I have to wonder why Garmin released a version 6.11.6 on November 27, then replaced that executable with a significantly larger one on December 7 without changing the version number or at least telling us why this new copy replaced the older one? This time, the downloaded program weighed in at 44.800 MB. I've been using 6.11.6 since that date without any problems.Ī few minutes ago, I returned to the Garmin Web site and downloaded a fresh copy of MapSource 6.11.6 (at least that's what the Web page claimed). After installation, everything was as expected, including the map unlock wizard and access to Topo maps. When I select "About MapSource." from the Help menu, the version is indeed listed as 6.11.6. I archive all my file downloads, so I still have a copy of that file.

As I wrote in my previous message (above), I downloaded and installed MapSource 6.11.6 on November 27, and the installer took up 35.664 MB. The file I downloaded is 35.664 MB.Ĭolor me confused. The version I installed on that date includes the map unlock wizard (or maybe the map unlock wizard survived from the previous version, 6.11.5), and it recognized my Topo maps. As I mentioned in that other thread, I downloaded and installed this update on November 27.
