But don't you find that it's upside-down while hanging on your belt-clip from the biner?  I run into the same upside-down problem whether on my horse or on my feet. 

Thanks!  I will try your suggestions tomorrow.

9/11 - I followed your suggestions and the "rogue map" has disappeared!  Thanks!  Kind of like turning a computer on and then off; just fixes things.
Thanks for all your help in getting me started, folks!

Boyd, thanks for the suggestions.  I looked at them carefully but I don't think any of them give me the ability to have the GPS close at hand or in my hand, appropriate view, and constantly attached to me.  The biner on my belt loop is working ok other than it's a little floppier than I'd like in order to see it right-side-up, but I think I can stabilize it with a little velcro, just to make it lie flatter.  I can't believe Garmin made it this way!  Doesn't seem like it would be useful no matter what it was clipped onto, and certainly not on a belt loop!  Thanks for your thoughts.

Have done all of the above suggestions already.  Darn track is still showing.  It is a track that I had previously recorded a week or two ago, saved it, then used it to navigate with yesterday (worked great to do that!), then I "cleared the current track."  That's the one that keeps showing up.  Any help appreciated.  I guess I can still use other tracks in the area and just be sure they're different colors, but this is just bugging me like crazy!  Thanks for any and all suggestions.

Gotcha - thanks.  I read some more and didn't bother to delete that map, just loaded a new map set and everything now shows fine on the screen and I've got enough map to keep me busy for a while.  New question - I rode my horse today and saved a 5-mile track, works great.  But now that track is persistently on whatever map I have open - and I don't want to be seeing that track all the time.  I've now got all my tracks marked "hide on map," but this particular one keeps showing up.  I've turned the GPS on & off, adjusted everything I can think of.  How can I actually hide it until I want  to use it again?  thanks for your help.

So I've downloaded the AZ Topo map (I hope just a section but am not sure).  I pulled it right up on the device to use it (disabling the map that came with it) but the screen doesn't fill!  It splits diagonally across the screen with the nicely-detailed topo map in half the screen and just a few waypoint show up on the other half.  It's loaded on the device, not a card.
So I was going to delete it and try again - maybe a smaller section or less detail, and will get a card.  But, when I hitch up to the computer, I cannot for the life of me find the map I loaded so I can delete it.  I see the Oregon just fine and all sorts of files etc. and have opened everything but can't find the map to delete it.  Where is the map hiding?   Thanks.

I ride all summer and have used an eTrex Legend for years just for safety - to be able to tell someone where the heck I am if hurt or lost.  Just upgraded to an Oregon 450 and liking it so far.  I put in a white background so it's easier to read.  I clip it to a belt loop per the biner that came with it; however, that biner, when clipped that way, makes the Oregon upside down from that viewpoint, so I pulled out a loop of it from the clip and have it hanging correctly now but it's a little floppy - I may do a little more to it with velcro or duct tape to keep it even better.  Just now working on maps.  Haven't tried it with gloves.
