So I have a set of trail maps and added some new trails.  But the new trails only show up at level 1 and higher and don't show up at 0.  All trails are the same type (major highway) and selecting all and changing the level to something else (0 or 1 or 3) doesn't solve the problem. 

I should add that this is all happening within GPSMapEdit software (i.e. I'm not talking about exporting to a device).

So I'm used to things disappearing as you move to a _higher_ level but not when you go to a lower level.  Help!

I've run into this frustrating problem with the *.mp maps that I've made and then want to print in large format (2' X 3' and larger).  I can do this in an awkward way from GPSmapedit by exporting them as bmp files but there's a nasty trade off between fine resolution (so that diagonal lines don't look jagged) and line width (at acceptable resolution, roads and rivers become such thin lines they are hard to see).  GPSmapedit doesn't allow much flexibility here--essentially the resolution and pixel size for the bmp files are controlled by the zoom level and you have to take what you get.

It's not such a problem when you're just printing on standard paper--but when you go large format you don't get an acceptable result.  Anyone have an alternative program for printing or some other work around?

So points that I add to maps in GPSmapedit (e.g symbols for mines, nav aids, cities etc) show up fine GPSmapedit but don't show up in mapsource or on my GPSr.  This isn't a problem of levels (they extend up to level 3).  What's the story?  I don't use a TYP file in mapsettoolkit, but I didn't think that was necessary for these symbols.  What am I doing wrong?

I downloaded both NW trails and Montana trails (both fabulous) but wanted them to show up at level 3 instead of just at 0,1, and 2 and to change the color (I hate having to zoom in so far before the trails show up).  I figured I could just pull the img files into GPSmapedit, modify them, and use cgpsmapper and mapsettoolkit to feed the revised map back.  Not quite so easy as I thought as 1) takes forever, and 2) something always blows up (most recently I get everything created and can see the entire state and system of trails but in mapsource the map selection tool will only let me select half the state (the other half shows the trails but is unselectable). 

Anyone have an easier solution for this (since I'd like to modify the Northwest Trails set as well)
