I finally got it.  I am not sure what was wrong but I got on Garmins website and learned how to do a total unit reset.  After that I used mapsource to upload the topo maps again and it worked perfectly.  It is really a beautifully done map.  I was starting to regret my decision of not buying to the 400t but now I see it was the right decision.  I want to go hiking now but it is only 15 degree F right now...

I have a screen that I can enable and disable certain maps and with the new set of maps enabled I see all of the streams, rivers, lakes etc, but no other details.  When I disable the map set I only see the base map that came with the unit so I know it is there.  It just doesn't show all of the details that I see when looking at the map in mapsource.  I am really stumped on this one.  Geez, I usually don't have this much trouble with stuff like this. 

I figured out what was wrong with the previous map set where I said I had nothing.  The maps are there just no contour lines just like the previous map set.  I am a newbie so it is probably something simple. 

Yes I zoomed in as far as I could still nothing.  I deleted this set of maps installed a different set and it is even worse.  I have nothing now.  I am sure it is something I am doing wrong.  I would really like to get these maps to work.  I think they look better in a lot cases when compared to the Garmin maps.  Is the Oregon capable of showing this much detail?  I am starting to think it is in the GPS not the way I am uploading the maps.

I just got an Oregon 300.  I downloaded Indiana Topo maps.  I ran the EXE and can see them in Mapsource.  I can zoom in and see all of the contour lines within Mapsource.  I uploaded them to my GPS and made sure that the maps were enabled but I can't see the contour lines or roads.  Looks like only grass and water.  Any help is appreciated.  Not sure if it matters but I am running Windows XP and have updated the Oregon to the latest software.  I appreciate any help you can provide.
