Mapsource......contributor

Have spent several hours with Nuvi 205w. Failed at trying to get mapsource into computer.......Failed at trying to become a contributor. Is there a good document that helps with these two topics?? I live in cavite province, travel all over and really do need the "good stuff".

It will also help if you describe the exact problem to narrow things down.

Hi and welcome!

The link by LGMan will help you get started with Mapsource.

About the "Failed at trying to become a contributor." Well, obviously you need to contribute tracks and waypoints to become a "contributor".

Welcome!

Help yourself and feel free to browse the forum. Read the appropriate threads especially the how-to section.

This may also help:

It would also help if you can provide the specific Garmin device/model you have instead of just "Garmin" or "Nuvi".
