I download wi topo then downloaded a mytraills from the depot.  the wi topo was gone.  I have playing around with base map and map source to load tracks.  I still dont know how to place the my trails I downloaded over the wi topo and apparently Im missing something during transferring as well.  I retained my maps on the pc.  so an explanation of what Im missing in transferring to the oregon 450 and how to combine maps in non computer lingo

I just looked at google earth and my 450 is about 7 city blocks off compared to google earth  Not sure if I using the right format or what it should appear as. 

I just purchased an Oregon 450. I am not a computer nerd but I managed to download the northeast topo maps onto a data stick.  Its now asking me what program do I want to use to open it to view on my laptop as the 450 is not here yet.  I have no idea and once I do how do I get it on my gps and how  much of it should I transfer.  I spend most of my time in WI and my computer use vista.  talk in plain English  don't speak computer nerd language,  right now regretting not getting preloaded maps.  thanks  Davo
