My bad!
I actually followed the tutorial and got it working.
I apologize that I didnt work through the tutorial, I was having problems but got it figured out.

I am still looking for a good trail map for the Beavers Bend area of Oklahoma, and maybe none exist but if anybody knows of one I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for tolerating me.

I guess I'm becoming too old to pick up new technology because this seems more difficult than I think it should be.

I downloaded and installed an Oklahoma topo map. I opened Mapsource and in the upper left corner I selected the map from the dropdown menu which shows all maps I have on the PC.

I select Oklahoma topo and it appears in the right pane of Mapsource. I click on send to device and a message appears: To transfer data to your device select maps or create waypoints....
Apparently the left pane is where that information is supposed to be, I dont know. How do I do this?

Help!

Currently I have no trail maps in the Garmin.

I loaded City Navigator onto the Garmin about a year ago and also loaded some geocache maps but that is all I've done. Unfortunately I dont play with this thing near enogh to know my way around.
I figure I should use the thing for what it was designed for but just getting the trail maps onto the thing seems like magic to me.
I also added a 1Gig card at the time I purchased it and the majority of the storage capacity is untouched.

The answer to your question, apparently I have GPX files. I have them on the Garmin (H drive on my computer) and GPX files on my memory card (D drive on my computer)

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, I really have tried to follow the tutorial but seem hopelessly lost. Is there maybe a Youtube video explaining the process for those of us too dense to follow the tutorial?

I'm going to southeast Oklahoma in a couple of weeks, the Beavers Bend area and want to hit some trails but not real clear on just how to get trail maps onto my Garmin 450.

Any help would be appreciated.

I think my post may have been premature. I found the drive no problem. Thanks for the replies.

OK so I just purchased an Oregon 450 and a 8 gig card. When I plug in my Oregon through the usb into my computer how do I locate the card? The Garmin owners manual says that the card can be used as a mass storage device, well duh, but it doesnt appear. How do I load onto it? I have the North American navigation maps but cant figure how to get them on the card.

Any help would be appreciated
