Mapuploader portable works on W10 but needs permissions only when adding maps to Basecamp/Mapsource: not when creating a map for your GPS device (gmapsupp.img)

1) Ensure Basecamp or Mapsource exist on your PC

2) Locate.reg file found in the folder which Mapuploader creates in a folder named after the your map, ie /mymap/mymap.reg.

3) Right Click on .reg file and run as administrator.

4) Or go Tools --> Create NSIS Window Installer and double click on the .exe when created
