On mine, you plug the GPS in, and there's a thin green progress line, which creeps its way towards 100% complete. After about half an hour, the map's loaded. That's after Basecamp has taken quarter of an hour to load. Garmin's software engineers really should be shot, for the good of humanity.
We are talking about two slightly different processes here.
As you say your maps are available to basecamp when your garmin is plugged in. The install maps option makes the maps available when your garmin is not plugged in.
