Hey there,
Etrex 20 Right out of the box.
So I am brand spanking new at this stuff so forgive my ignorance.
Whenever I load maps onto my basecamp they are not half as detailed as what is shown on the samples. I just see these topo lines that look they are there to reference elevation ques. Zoomed way out I see mostly nothing (unless the map has roads) just whiteness. I downloaded the "my trails" file and all I see is a few dots the loosely resemble the US. I can zoom in on these does and see what seem to be trails but there is no topo at all. I have also tried turning my basic map function on and off and this still haven't worked.
I am sure that I am just missing something, but I can't figure it out and I want to punch a kitten.
(I don't really punch kittens but this makes me feel like want to)
View>Toolbars>Detail Level>(set to More or Max) should make the Topos look better.
My Trails is a transparent overlay to overlay a topo. It doesn't have contours of it's own. Unfortunately BaseCamp doesn't permit overlays to work, but if you load them onto your GPSr you can see both My Trails and the topo .
Not all maps are created the same, nor are they intended to server the same purpose/users.
It would help us help you if you were specific about which maps you loaded.
GPSr mapsets are designed to display less detail as you zoom out; otherwise they would become a usless blob.
Ahhh There we go!
Thanks Maps4gps and Seldom! Yall Rock!
sounds good to me will come back soon and leave further comments
