I'm new here and obviously not very literate when it comes to this sort of thing. Apparently downloading maps is not an idiot proof operation.
I have mapsource installed on my pc. I downloaded oregon_topo which gave me the option to install and I did. I accepted all the default download locations along with the default file names. It placed a file called mt77_or in my program files. Map source does not give me an option to open this map. What am I supposed to do?
Hopefully somebody with a little more geek sense can help out. Thanks in advance.
I closed mapsource then reopened and the file appeared. Mystery solved I hope.
I would guess that when MapSource 'opens' it checks the registry for available mapsets - any mapset installed while it is open will not be found until the next time MapSource starts.
Always close MapSource before installing a new mapset!
