Having just bought a new puter , cause the old one died , I am trying to install my Garmin mapping products.
New computer is running Windows vista business.
Problem is the v7 update cd won't install because it cant find a previous version to update and when I try to install v6 it tells me to start this data CD from the setup CD but there is no such thing.
Anyone know if it's a compatability problem or any other ideas .
BTW Bluechart v8 and update to v8.5 worked fine.
Shonkymaps is also ok
Windows vista and city navigtor v6/v7 problems

I also had issues with loading mapsource under Vista on a new PC a week or so ago. I reported the problem to Garmin and received the following reply on the next US business day (after I had worked it out for myself)
Thank you for contacting Garmin International. There is a security setting for Vista that needs to be set. Right click on the Map Source icon and go to Properties. After here you will see a compatibility tab, click and then check the Run as Administrator box. This will set the correct Vista security and you will be able to open Map Source. Thank you.
