Type a high number, so as not to conflict with the IDs of the Garmin maps or maps for Garmin that you have. Personally, I always use 654nnn.<br \/>\n\u2022 Next you fill in the map name on your cmputer. This is the name that BaseCamp and\/or MapSource will use. Fill in a name for your device while you\u2019re at it.
