By default, you cannot install Garmin MapSource without existing MapSource product. But there is a hack to ‘trick’ the Garmin MapSource installer, and let you install it even without existing Garmin MapSource installed.
How to install Garmin MapSource without existing MapSource?
You need to have Garmin Training Center software. Of course, you require Garmin MapSource software too. Download both of them.
