hunting gps maps downloadable garmin maps discontinued?

[sk1]

back when it was huntinggpsmaps.com i bought downloadable maps for garmin basecamp / my garmin gps. i still have and use them on my PC, but trying to find the download for my mac. it appears huntinggpsmaps is now called OnX, and they only offer a chip? id like to have the plots in basecamp. i also have a membership to onx for my phone, not realizing they were the same company

anyone know if you can still get the downloadable maps? does OnX have a way to load the overlay into basecamp?

waiting on a reply from them, but its sunday so who knows if i will hear back yet today

I had their maps downloaded to my PC also. They got rid of that option last year. Now it's just gps chips or subscriptions for your phone and internet. I'm not sure if you can link either to base camp as I haven't tried but I doubt it.

The gps sd card will open in basecamp as it always has. That product hasn't changed, only the delivery method.

To update mine I had to pay the $30 fee to update a chip and get the app membership and they gave me a new up to date SD chip.

They did the same for me. Pretty fair deal overall. I kept the original unlock code for the maps as well as the original download.. I had to upgrade to a new computer recently and was able to reinstall the the maps and unlock them for use in Garmin Mapsource and Basecamp. It is easy to see why they only want to support the app and the website so I really don't hold anything against them. OnX maps are pretty awesome.

Well for anyone else that used to own the downloadable version that they no longer make....I called this morning about it. Since they no longer support this version they are sending me the chips of the states I previously purchased for free.

Easy company to deal with, I would have settled for a discounted rate but would have been disappointed at anything less than free. I owned 3 states in the old version and am a premium member currently. Great service!
