I've no information on Vista vs Contours, as I don't use it. (Too attached to my existing software to adopt an operating system which won't run more than half of it.)
I don't even know if Mapsource itself runs properly on Vista at time of writing.

Thanks for that, I only have premium but its basically the same code so I should be OK.
Worst comes to the worst I can always stick XP on a separate partition.

Hi there,
It works on Vista Home Premium - but as I stated in another post - you have to create a folder in C:Programs called Garmin, then a folder called Contours V2 and then store the map data in there - otherwise Mapsource will crash - path is C:Programs/Contours V2/map data... You do NOT put the Contours V2 folder and contents into the C:Garmin folder as again Mapsource will crash.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
CFred39 |

Works fine, I was worried the registry file alteration for XP might not work for Vista but no problems at all. Excellent
Regards
