What Mapsource needs to find is the Install directory and a particular exe file, there are a couple of ways to do this and they are described on the link I added.
Extract for the site.
Here is an easy way to get Mapsource for free and legit. Here are 3 different ways to do it.
1. Download MapSource software updater from Garmin .
2. Extract the contents of MapSource_####.exe (such as MapSource_6156.exe) download using 7 Zip .
3. From the extracted files, run MAIN.msi or MSMAIN.msi.
4. Then, run Setup.exe.
Note: The sequence to execute Main.msi and then Setup.exe is important to avoid “Previous MapSource not found!” error.
5. Garmin MapSource now installed.
OR
1. Create a folder named Garmin on local C: drive.
