Select your map (the one with the FID you have chosen above) and click Next. You should now be able to see your map in Garmin BaseCamp under Windows.
Right click on install.bat and select Run as administrator. With the Windows explorer go to the directory you selected in GMapTool for the splitting process.

You should be able to get these numbers when you click on Info in the Files tab of GMapTool. Select Set mapset FID and enter the FID and PID of your map. 1 Select Compile preview map and enter some name describing your map.
