Thanks you very much.  I did what you said.  Now I only have two files.  Enabled - Worldwide DEM Basemap, NR; Enabled - Hancock (W), pige.  The second is probably the one that I sent.  How do I open it and move around it with the GPSr?  I would like to make sure that it is functioning and that the Waypoints are there.  Again, I am a complete newbe to this.  Thanks for you patience!

Here are my options under the 'setup map', 'map information Select Map' section:  Enabled- Worldwide DEM Basemap, NR; Enabled - Hancock (W), Pige; Enabled - Digital Globe Demo.jnx; Enabled - BirdsEye Select Kompass-Switzerland Brienzer Rothom.jnx; Enabled Birdseye Select ERIE Carrauntoohil.JNX; Enabled - Birdseye Select France Mont Blanc.JNX; Enabled - BirdsEye Select Great Britian Snowdon. JNX; Enabled -  BirdsEye Select Ko ZelamSee.jnx; Enabled - USGS Quads Grand Canyon National Park.JNX

I didn't put any of these files on the unit (at leat not on purpose).  Perhaps my GPS was returned?  I got it from Amazon.

Should I just return it?

There is a file 'gmapsupp.ing' under the Garmin folder.  it is 13,204 KB.  The sections that I transferred are only the Boundary Waters Canoe area of Northern Minnesota and some way points.  So if it is there, why can't I see it through the Garmin Menu?

Thanks you for your help.

Hi,

I just received my handheld GPS last week.  I don't know what I'm doing and find this experience frustrating!  I couldn't get Basecamp to load on my Vista machine, but was able to load Mapsource.  From there I downloaded the Minnesota topos from this site into Mapsource.  I selected the parts I wanted to transfer as per the tutorials and transferred it to the gps . . . it said it transferred it.  How do I find these maps on the GPS?  I just can't find them.  I select 'menu', 'setup map', 'select map', 'enter' and the only maps that are here are the default maps.  What am I missing?

Thanks!
