MapInstall 4.2.0 is broken. You will get it by updating to Basecamp 4.7.0 - however also individual update can happen. MapInstall 4.3.2 (part of Basecamp 4.8.4) is fixed - but so far only available to Apple Mac OS x users - not for Windows.
Garmin released a new version of Basecamp - 4.7.0 - in order to remove many features that were not in accordance with the GDPR regulation. Actually it's not that 4.6.2 is wrong here - it's that there were a few web services - that Garmin switched off - and those were interlinked into 4.6.2 - so that actually in 4.6.2 some functionality is not working anymore - I could on a quick check however not discover any actual difference otherwise in relation to the GDPR regulations - so 4.6.2 is no different in this regard to 4.7.0 - well and new privacy page/EULA of course).
The big problem is that Basecamp 4.7.0 also ships an updated version of Garmin MapInstall - and that version is broken in so far that it does not reliably/correctly send any maps in .img format anymore! This also applies to original older garmin maps.
On Windows instead of the actual map - only the overview map is sent - so you will have a nearly 'empty' map.
BaseCamp for Mac Legacy Version software version 4.7.0. As of March 1, 2019. Download (104.41 MB). View installation instructions. Notes: BaseCamp is a 3D mapping application that allows you to transfer waypoints, tracks, and routes between your Mac and Garmin device and manage your data using topographic Garmin maps that include digital elevation model(DEM). BaseCamp 4.6.2 For Mac Is Out. Changes made from version 4.6.1 to 4.6.2: Fixed an issue with missing data for route elevation graphs.

Fixed an issue with BaseCamp prompting that old software updates are available. Fixed other various bugs. Addendum: we've just released 4.6.2.

On Mac OS x the problem with MapInstall 4.2.0 is that it will often crash while sending maps. This got fixed with MapInstall 4.3.2. Note however that Basecamp 4.8.4 only runs okay if use it in English. The translated version are completely bugged.
Switch to the relevant tab for information on how to downgrade to Basecamp 4.6.2/4.6.3 on Windows respectively Mac OS x
If you are a Windows user and upgraded to 4.7.0 you have 6 choices:
Basecamp Mac App
Actually right now only a part of the overview map is sent - it would be nice if Garmin could send the overview maps in general too - as right now they are only used on Desktop. Would actually speed up the GPS devices a bit - especially if you have no activated Basemap on your device.
Restore Tracks/Routes that you created in Basecamp 4.7.0
If you chose to downgrade Basecamp and already created tracks/routes with 4.7.0 you will need to restore them. While updating/downgrading does not delete any of your data - routes/tracks that you planned with Basecamp 4.7.0 will not appear in Basecamp 4.6.2 after downgrade - only routes/tracks that you had planned before the 4.7.0 update will show up.
To solve that go to:
C:UsersYOUR_USERNAMEAppDataRoamingGarminBaseCampDatabase
(note AppData is a hidden folder - you may have to enable windows file explorer to show hidden files and folders)
Now you rename folder 4.6 to 4.6.backup and 4.7 to 4.7.backup
Copy folder 4.7.backup and Rename it to 4.6
In Case of Problems with Reinstalling Basecamp - downgrading MapInstall:
Deinstall All Garmin tools/programs via Windows 'Change or Remove a Program'. Then delete the Garmin Folder in 'C:Program Files (x86)'. Then Reinstall all Garmin tools/Programs and make sure to use old enough versions (as linked here).
IMHO you do not need to clean the registry of any Garmin entry, nor do you need to remove any Garmin folders that are somewhere else then Program Files folders (so far all Garmin tools are x86 and not 64 bit - it's possible this will change in future - so then also delete Garmin folder inside 'C:Program Files'.
You can Either Downgrade/Upgrade MapInstall only, Or Downgrade Mapinstall and Basecamp

While windows users have good alternatives to Garmin MapInstall - on OS x the only real alternative is to use mkgmap.jar to create gmapsupp.img files. That is not so easy to do and requires Java JDK properly configured. However MapInstall 4.3.2 is fixed - so either downgrade to Basecamp 4.6.3 or upgrade to Basecamp 4.8.4 or later.
