Exporting to Garmin Raster Maps (KML/KMZ)

I am having issues creating a KMZ file for a garmin GPS from a pdf. When I do the export, it prompts me to split it into multiple overlapped exports (4, with 45 tiles each). When I try to load one of the kmz up in basecamp, it shows up blank, and when I try to load in it google earth, it crashes.
I tried opening up the kmz as a zip file, and it only has the kml file, but the tiled jpgs appear to be missing.
The original pdf is 45mb, and the 4 created kmz's are about 10mb each, so I don't think size/memory is an issue. I'm also using Global Mapper 14.0.

There was a bug in the KMZ export for Garmin in the original v14.0 release. Can you try downloading and installing the latest from the links below and see if that works?
