I've downloaded a .gdb file on the internet, copied it in custom maps then opened it with MapInstall. After it said installation completed, i opened BaseCamp and the new map was there (over TOPO Canada). But it is not on the gps...what should i do?

Thanks!

GDB is a file of waypoints, tracks and routes. The data technically is not a custom map so it will be loaded in a different way. In Basecamp the GDB file would of added a bunch of GPS data to the program. It will show up in a list on the left hand side of the program window. You will need to select that data in Basecamp then drag it to your device listed above the data. You can also try the 'Send to Device' button.
