Finally!    Issue resolved.  The problem seems to be topo map files created by "maps4gps".
I tried installing maps for other states by this same creator and none of them would show up in BC.

I then installed a different WA topo map option by another creator and it worked the 1st try! 

Thanks for everyone's help!  Now I can go geocaching with my new Oregon 450t! 

Still no dice on the WA topo map.  I uninstalled previous downloads and downloaded into a "Garmin" folder the same place the My Trails files are stored.  That didn't work.
I even downloaded into the My Trails folder and the topo map still doesn't show in BC.

Not sure what other options exist at this point. 

Got it.  I needed to change the "Detail Level". It was set to Low. I set to High and the trails are showing now.  Thank you for the tip!
I am still having problems getting BC to find the topo map.  Will place in a different location and see what happens.

BC was closed when I installed the WA Topo Map.  I've closed and re-opened BC again and the topo map still doesn't show.
Also noticed with the My Trails Map only a blank map screen with tiny little black dots show up. Stays the same regardless of how much I zoom in or out.

Attached a screenshot

Now I understand!  Thank you!
My Trails now shows up under the Map Products drop down box.  But the WA State Topo map still isn't showing up after download and installation.

I did try to follow that tutorial.  The installer downloaded the files onto my PC.  Does Basecamp recognize the files anywhere on my PC or should I have selected that the files be installed somewhere else other than on say my Desktop or in a Program file?
I think that may be the problem.

Hey guys,

I am having problems getting the WA State 2011 Topo Map to show up in Basecamp.
I'm using Windows 7 and have perused the forum to see what the problem might be.

I've read one solution is to install "MyTrails". I guess being a newbie I may not be installing MyTrails into Basecamp properly.

I downloaded MyTrails and ran thru the activation process but how do I actually install it into Basecamp?
I assume this question would also related to installing the WA Topo Map also.

Thanks!
