Brand new to all this map stuff... need help.
I have a Oregon 300 (Software version 4.2, GPS software version 5.0 ) and am using BaseCamp version 3.2.2. Computer is PC with windows 7 64 bit.
I loaded the Canada V4 maps from Garmin with no problem and they show properly on the 300. I wish to go south later for some kayaking in South Carolina and Georgia so to start downloaded the SC topo map from this site. I followed all the tutorials and got it into BaseCamp with little difficulty. I then used BaseCamp to move it to the 300 and all was good according to the screen. First mistake was over writing my Canada topo. Oh well, another lesson learned. Enabled the SC topo but it would not show up on the map. Started fresh and reloaded Canada topo onto the device (works fine). Then loaded SC topo onto a memory card in the 300. Now had choice of maps. Disabled the Canada topo and enabled the SC topo. Still no SC topo on the map screen. Changed profiles, adjusted various settings but still no joy.
Tried a SE USA topo and had the same results.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Unlike MapSource and BaseCamp, the GPSr will not relocate to a mapset area when it is selected. If you are not currently located in an area, you have to 'pan' to that area. Zoom-out, pan to SC, then zoom-in to 2+- km and the SC topo (etc.) should display.
Hi
So much frustration and such a simple answer. Thank you for the education. Had to look up the coordinates for , say, Charleston and then scroll across and down and then zoom in. Great help.
Thanks again.

Zoom out and use Garmin's built-in world map. Pan to SC. Zoom-in, adjusting view as needed.
Thanks maps4gps
Yet again another useful lesson in simplicity.
I thought one had to disable ANY may one was not using. Even the world base map.
Thanks
again 8)
