Windows tries launching the default email program, and finds that there is none registered. Gmail isn't precisely a program, not one that runs on your computer. But I think there is a way to register Gmail as your default email program anyway. Because I am from the Stone Ages, I never found a need to do that. I always would get that error message. But I don't mind, because I know what to do next. The URL in that "GPS TravelMaps Support" hyperlink is this: mailto:supp...@gpstravelmaps.com?subject=Map Question (When I hover my mouse over the link, I see that line in the lower left corner of Chrome. I guess you don't.) Clicking on that link instructs Windows to start the default email program, using the specified email address and Subject line. So if you copy-and-paste the address ("supp...@gpstravelmaps.com") and subject line ("Map Question") into the appropriate fields of a new email message, you can do the same thing that Windows would have done. This is not the most "expert" or elegant way to handle it -- having to manually copy-and-paste. But, hey, it works for me.
