I am computer semi illiterate.  Got new computer, went from Vistas to Windows 7.  Reinstalled Mapsource and downloaded trails and then NC Topo to Map Source.  When downloaded Florada Topo will not down load to Map Source.  Dragged icon of Fl Topo to Map Source and told incompatable with Map Source,  Was able to get South East Topo on Map Source.

Did you read this?

Most maps from this site need to be "installed".  Drag and drop doesn't work.  Download the EXE file and run it to get the map into MapSource.

Yup, installed (twice) , goes to down loads but not Map Source.  Process is exactly the same  as all other downloads to Mapsource except will not go to Map Source.   Only after failure did I try to drag

Wonder if I tried to re download My Trails would it then down load  Fl Topo as suggestion for Base Camp

Try uninstalling the FL map and installing My Trails.  My Trails cures lots of problems.

Tried it and failed, will use the SE Topo.  Thanks.  Somethings we learn to live with.
