This is probably beyond my level of expertise, but the following information might be useful to more expert folks than me.

1)Which Colorado Maps are you having problems with?
2)Do they appear correctly in MapSource?
3)Have you successfully transferred maps other than the Colorado maps with the problem to your 60CSX?

I installedd the colorado maps from this site.  They appear in Mapsource OK and the file names are on the Garmin. It even shows 5Mb used on card used( the size of the 2 maps). It's that when I have them selected they say No Map.  Sorry I'm a newbie, I haven't transfered anything besides these 2 files. I can turn Base Map on and off to get to select the Colo. files. When I go to the map page and hit menu then setup i  have 2 Colo. files to select but if I hit menu again it  only has 1 show/hide file. Should I have loaded each section of the map seperately?

Also when I have the either map called up I get a flashing red Question Mark.

This site lists 24 maps on the Colorado page.  Which of those did you install?

That's a 150 megabyte map set.  Did you only install one or two sections?

Did you use MapSource to send the mapset to the 60CSX?

When you selected the sections they turned pink?

The 5 MB file on the card should be called gmapsupp.IMG.  Is it?

 Thank You for all your Help seldom sm. It's good of you to take time with a newbie. I looked around at some other posts and zoomed way out and realized I was still in Ohio with my cursor. I moved the cursor west and there were the maps I loaded in Colorado where they were supposed to be. Told you I was a newbie. Now does anyone know anything about motorcycle brakes? Thanks again, and what a great site we have here. Hopefully one day I can even contribute and maybe help someone.
