Excellent. Selected all the grids to cover the state of SC and transferred it right to the Nuvi - no problem. I appreciate the help....

OK, I reinstalled SE USA and I see it pops up in the Mapsource dropdown... and it works. Thanks!

I received a Nuvi 205W for Christmas and am in the learning curve with it. This is not my first exposure to GPS since I have a charter/plotter in my boat but is the first that I've tried to get creative with. I stumbled onto this site during my searching.

Anyway, I've downloaded Mapsource and "South East United States - With Installer" with hopes of putting topos into the GPS for use off road - mainly so I can venture into the woods and still make it back to the truck in the dark.

My problem is that I can't open any of the files with any of the software I have  - Mapsource, PaintShop Pro etc. So am I missing something here (apparently!) and forging ahead too quickly? I believe the 205W is capable of accepting a topo download, correct?

Thanks for any advice or guidance!
