mapsource - what drop-down-menu?

[jagdpanther]

I have a new  Garmin Nuvi (2460LMT) and wanted to add the California Topo map from GPSFileDepot.

I am reading the tutorial  http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/tutorials/how-to-load-maps-on-my-garmin-gps-unit/ and step two states:  "Select the map you want to load from the drop down menu in the upper left corner."

I can't find any drop down menu in mapsource.  I am using MapSource 6.16.3 on a Win 7 system.  (I down-loaded and installed MapSource according to the short tutorial on GPSFileDepot.) 

The only reference inside MapSource to the California Topo map that I installed is in Utilities -> Manage Map Products.  There I see only one line and it contains:
California Topo  1.00  Not lockable  c:\Program Files (x86)\California Topo\

But I can't figure out how to select it.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The top illustration on your link below shows a drop down window with "Arizona Topo" in it.  If you click on the down arrow you should find your California topo.

There's an option under View > Toolbars to hide or show the dropdown map menu. Can't remember which one since I'm on my Mac right now.  Might be View > Toolbars > View

Thank you for the replies.

The top illustration show two tool bars under the standard "File Edit Find ..." line.  I only have one.  The missing tool-bar probably has the drop down.

Yes, this is probably the issue.  I'll try it tonight.    Thank you.

I'm having the same issue: no drop down menu (running Win7 & latest version of Mapsource, recently updated from version 2.0). I go to view->switch to product-> and all I see are to options:
no map
Trip and Waypoint Manager v2

Please help!! Thanks.

To get the drop down, go to View->Show Toolbars->Show All Toolbars

Install some maps to get more choices:)

Indeed.... what you describe implies that you have not installed any maps yet. Trip and Waypoint Manager is a crude basemap that is provided with that software package. Follow the tutorials on this site to download and install maps and you should be good to go.

Thanks. Had to restart Mapsource.
