GPSr Units / MITOPO maps on GPSMAP 78sc
July 08, 2018, 04:25:37 PM
I have a new Garmin GPSMPS 78sc. I have downloaded both MITOPO11 and MyTrails install files and installed them on my laptop and through Basecamp to the unit. When I went to setup - Map Information Select Map - I found and enabled both My Trails and mitopo11. My only choices are "Enable or Disable".  When I open a track I see a map with the track, however the map is not mitopo11. When zoom to 12mile I see township lines and major roads. Zooming, as close as 200', in further I see a solid gray background and my track. with no elevation lines, etc. It is obviously not a topo map. I went to Map Information Select Map and disabled all maps except mitopo11 and My Trails. Track shows same results as before. I did read an earlier post and followed those directions, set details to normal, ect.
Please suggest a solution. :)
PS Boyd, With your help a year ago, my etrex30 works great with mitopo11 and My Trails.

I downloaded mitopo11 and ran the exe file. This produced the set of img files etc. Used MapsetToolkit per the tutorial. It gave me the "compiled" message.:-) However, the compiled file did not show in the Mapset installed window, couldn't find the compiled file, and could not open map in Basecamp. I tried several times using various registry names and map directories, including Garmin, Basecamp, and the microSD with Garmin as folder. Any suggestions. :-\
