Boyd, I concur with your take on "profiles".  That's exactly why it never crossed by mind to look under that "rock".  I tried just about every other remote possibility I could think of but not profiles.  I literally spent the better part of 3 days trying to solve this problem.  I'm just getting started with this new Oregon 450 so this website, Garmin and the topo options available to this unit.  Agains, thanks a bunch!

Jbensman, I don't have City Navigator loaded.  My wife did just buy a Garmin nuvi 1450 LMT which is sitting behind me in a box which I plan to dedicate to use in the car.

 Success!  Your clues about the "profile" put me on the right track.  I believe what happened was  originally being successful with the Arizona topo, my spouse needed the computer so I then started setting up my custom preferences etc...  Well, the first thing I did, of course since I plan to use it while hunting, was the rename the "recreational" profile to "hunting".  The next day, I carefully started doing the transfer steps for "California" and discovered that it had no contour lines.  I had at first just assumed that it was because this state had 2 .img files and simply went back to look at Arizona.  But of course, Arizona was also missing the contour lines.

Thanks so much for the help!  I've literally spent days looking everywhere, not knowing that Garmin profile setups worked in such a manner.  Like you guys said, it's a "feature", not a bug.

Yes, I've zoomed all the way down to 10 yd.  I've also tried to pull only 4 quadrants from the Arizona Topo via Basecamp just trying a smaller subset of area.  It does appear that those 4 quadrants (contiguous) are pulling in some of "other features" of the topo area overlay because the 8 mile zoom level I'm seeing that everything surrounding the "4 quadrants" has an "overlay" of crisscrossed blue X's. 

I did see the whole Arizona state topo stuff all working perfectly at one point (briefly) yesterday after spending hours trying to debug my problem.  I was creating "Arizona" folders etc...  and "copying" the send gmapsupp over to it etc..  I wasn't quite sure of what I did to make it work and moved on to start the whole process on California which introduced the "2 files" and Arizona stopped working while California also had no contour lines.   I then spent hours on the web and now understand the gmapsupp issue and that California has a double file which I'll need to deal with later??.  I've spent a couple of days on this but I'm learning.   Any pointers was really be appreciated!

I have successfully transferred the Arizona Topo map to my Oregon 450 SD micro chip (8 gig) using Basecamp.  It is enabled in the SETUP but I'm not getting any 1:24000 contour lines to show up on the unit.  My Oregon 450 is brand new and it's 100% up to date.  Any suggestions on why I'm not getting the contour lines?
