Download Garmin: Import maps from gmapsupp.img to Mapsource torrent or any other torrent from Windows category.
Basecamp will only allow you to view official Garmin maps that are either preloaded on a device (like City Navigator on a Nuvi) or maps that they sell on SD cards and downloads. Aside from that, neither Basecamp or Mapsource can 'open'.img files, they must be installed into the program. Assuming that you have a legal copy, you should contact the supplier of your map.
There are some advanced ways to make maps viewable in Basecamp, but this is somewhat complicated and requires additional software. You should really seek help from whoever supplied the map. Import of.img files SUSSAMB, BaseCamp does see the thumb drive, but not the IMG file. And OSTROFF01: Thank you both for your help. The GMAPSUPP.IMG file for Costa Rica supplied by 'Centro GPS y Rutas Satelitales SA', a Garmin recommended supplier.
There was no.TBD file associated with it, if that matters. I will contact the supplier as suggested, but if BaseCamp only sees Garmin loaded maps, I am out of luck tracking my Costa Rica trip. Hopefully, when I purchase the Garmin Europe map this summer, I will not have this problem. Again, thanks for all your help. SUSSAMB, BaseCamp does see the thumb drive, but not the IMG file.

I have a couple of non Garmin maps installed that work both with Mapsource and Basecamp.

As Boyd says, if you can't get yours to work try contacting the map provider.

Perhaps the supplier sells a BaseCamp/MapSource compatible version of the map. Additional FYI gmapsupp.img is the default filename used by Garmin for its supplemental maps. Creating a device IMG with MapSource/MapInstall will silently overwrite that file if it already exists. Also, when purchasing a map product download from Garmin you'll get the same filename. Many newer Garmin products, such as your 3490, support multiple IMG files so you don't have to use the default name. On my devices, that support this, I always rename any gmapsupp.img to something else. In my case I use gmapsupX.img where X is just a digit (1.9).
This prevents accidental overwrites. PS: I also backup IMG's to other media 'just in case'.
