Garmin Express communicates with the Garmin server without the need for Garmin Communicator.

Using BaseCamp, you should be able to view the map without the need to unlock it. Like sussamb says, this should have put an unlocked map on the computer.

I am assuming that Garmin Express was used to download the map to both the GPS and the computer. The GPS is the proof that you are entitled to an unlocked map. The GPS must be connected to the PC while trying to solve this problem. Note you may have to select the file type from the drop down box. However if you've installed maps to a SD card then they'll be in the Garmin folder on the card. system folder (newer devices) on your GPS. Those files will either be in the Garmin folder (older devices and handhelds) or the hidden. Start Map Product Manager from 'Maps' menu, go to 'Unlock regions' tab, select the appropriate map and then click on Import to get the unlock Code files (*.gma and *.unl) from your GPS. If it is simply an unlock error you're getting then: I have maps installed on both a Win7 and Win10 PC and have never had to specifically unlock them. Does it? If so what happens when you try to select it? Do you get any error messages? BaseCamp should simply 'see' the map on your PC and use it, and it should appear when you select Maps in the BaseCamp toolbar. You say you've installed Express and run that, selecting the option to download the map to your PC? All should then be well. BaseCamp has nothing to do with downloading maps, and Garmin Communicator is no longer required. If I have to jump thru too many flaming hoops I'll just skip Basecamp.
