Great to know...I was using one JPEG, obviously way too much. I went back to the original KMZ downloaded and there were 20 sub-sections layered!

Appreciate the help.  I reloaded the download and now it shows up.  Thanks to all for the help.  Cool stuff.

Thanks again.
The map that I tried loading was off this site.  I repeated the process of making a custom map by the Garmin method, starting with a JPG.  I completed the KMZ in Google Earth, but when I put it in the CustomMaps folder, when I start the unit, it says that it is too big to open (only 6MB and I have the space on the unit).  I'll try loading on to a micro SD when I get one soon.

Many thanks for the help.
The map that I've tried to load is the French Creek, PA map.  Seems already configured from a .jpg to a kmz.  I've loaded on the Oregon 450 and enabled it (and it alone), but it doesn't seem to be there.  Do I need a different map file enabled as well?

Still new to the conversion of files to GPS usable files.  I'm trying to convert the KMZ map of French Creek to a readable format for my Garmin Oregon 450.  Any help?  I have GPSBabel, Mapsource, etc. , but maybe I'm not using the right format.  Have converted to KML then tried GPSBabel, but not a good GBP file.
Thanks
