GARMIN BASECAMP not recognizing maps

I've uploaded maps into Garmin Basecamp before with no problems.  I downloaded a new Japan map, unzipped the *.gmap file, opened Garmin Map Manager and installed the new *.gmap file.  The installer says the map was installed, and in fact it shows up in the correct /Garmin/Maps folder on my HD (Mac).  But when I open BC, the map does not show up in the pull-down menu.

I've uninstalled and re-installed BC
I've created a new Library
I've restarted my computer multiple times

The map still does not show up in BC.  Help!!

Re: GARMIN BASECAMP not recognizing maps

Check out this program:

http://www.javawa.nl/gmtk_en.html

You can use it to check for map-errors and als use it for installing maps that otherwise don't install.
Be sure to check-out all the other great map-software from that site!

Note: Do not use Basecamp from the App store but use the version from the Garmin site.

Re: GARMIN BASECAMP not recognizing maps

Thanks.... it solved my problem.  Apparently because there was an existing Japan map on the card it was causing conflicts which that program recognized immediately.  I deleted the first map the the new version loaded immediately.  Thanks.....
