i have dounloaded the latest version of mapsource from the garmin website. when i load a state topo map it downloads to programs but not to mapsurce as was mentioned on the download screen.the name of the map shows in mapsource but no map is visible. i have deleted and reinstalled both mapsource and the topo but no luck. what is the procedure of moving topo from programs to mapsource??
Sounds like you need to zoom in, what map?
zoom in a lot; sometimes the cache isn't working correct. You could also try out Garmin basecamp to see if that works better for you.
thanks for the assist-- i've zoomed in to as low as 500ft,, still nothing. think i'll try basecamp to see if tn topo will load there--thanks
Did you actually install the map? Most mapsets here are self-installing to a PC (or MAC). If you downloaded the mapset as and .....exe file, you need to run/execute it. See this tutorial:

switched to basecamp---self installed just fine----many thanks
Odd that it didn't work in MapSource. Make sure you have the newest version; the version of MapSource included on a lot of the GPS units' cds don't work with custom maps.
had the old trips & waypoints mgr. that upgraded to mapsource on garmin site--- that could have been the problem... doin' fine in base camp---tks
Are you using Windows7?
how many bit operating system? 32 bit or 64 bit?
using vista--32,,, tried unistall on map and mapsource numerous times,, still not getting map to show
which map?
trying to get tennessee topo to download--- loaded se-u.s last night and it's working fine in mapsource. will try tennessee topo again
