Well I think you hit the nail right on the head here.  I un installed the current Basecamp, mapshare and map loader, went 1 vs. prior.  and re installed!  got exactly what I need now!  Thank you so much Boyd! 

Hey Boyd, thanks for the reply back,

  To the first question, I'm sure its the newest vs. of basecamp.. I down loaded it last night.. So this will be the first thing I will look into.  It is a 530, not a 530 HCX.. That said you're right it only has so much room to work with.  When I loaded maps, the map installer let me pick a section of the map it blocks.  I chose what I wanted I.E my normal hunting areas on the map and uploaded it.  Its stranger for sure. 

  I'm going to try your map in it and see what happens.  I'm guessing its the fact that its an older tech that does not recognize the files being up loaded but I could be way off. 

Hi everyone,

  I am hoping someone might be able to help guide me in getting a topo map to work on a Garmin Rino 530.  Yes I know this is a older unit, however I feel its a wonderful device that still has practical use today.  I basically need topo maps on it for PA and or OH.  I tried a couple vs. last night and nothings working.  All I get are roads with no detail.  Note, I really do not even need roads.  Im using this for scouting deer in the hills of PA and OH.  Hiking trails and TOPO would be perfect. 

  NOTE.  I have both Basecamp and mapsorce.  Both work fine, communicate, up load and down load to and from the device.  I am good with the process, its the map that I need help with. 

  Thank you anyone who can help.  I really appreciate it.
