Step 1 - Search for BaseCamp software using a search engine
Step 2 - Download the BaseCamp software
Step 3 - Install BaseCamp
Step 4 - Download the map from hike-and-bike
Important!
For the alternative way to install the map we use the GMAP Archive for Garmin BaseCamp.
That's why we download the following file here: HikeAndBike-CHE.gmap.zip
Step 5 - Unzip and install the map
Important!
Extract the file to the following directory: C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Maps\
This directory is normally 'hidden'. If you do not 'see' this directory, then you can display the hidden directories in your 'File Explorer' in the 'View' menu with 'Hidden elements'. Saving in this directory also works if you can't see the directory optically, then it is still there.
Step 6 - Start BaseCamp and select map
