I downloaded a topo map to my Oregon 400c and now I can't access my North American City Navigator map that is on an sd micro card. Did it overwrite the card? Please tell me it didn't!! Thank you.
- 1. Did you load the TOPO map to the internal memory or the sd card?
- 2. Was the sd card preprogrammed by Garmin or do you have the City Navigater DVD?
- 3. Which TOPO map was it?
I didn't see any options when I downloaded the Florida topo map regarding internal memory or to the micro sd card. It was a Garmin preprogrammed micro sd card. Thanks.
You should have had the option to select where you installed it in MapSource and/or MapInstall with an Oregon 400c with a sd card installed in it. Did you see a window like this:

No, that screen never came up. That would have been a red flag for me. Why would Garmin make those cards rewritable? Bad idea if that's what happened.
Have you tried popping the Garmin SD card into a card reader and opening the .img file with something like GPSMapEdit (http://www.geopainting.com/en/ (http://www.geopainting.com/en/)) to see if your original map was overwritten? It does seem pretty silly to me that Garmin wouldn't lock a card they sold with data on it.
