Actually, upon further review, it does show national forest and national park boundaries, but it does not show BLM land very well. I scrolled around and did see a few BLM spots marked, but it was spotty.
I guess it is working, but not exactly what I need.
Do any of you have a good source for BLM land overlays for Oregon? I know where to get one, but I'm looking for a free one preferably.
Thanks for all the help so far, you guys are great!

My profile is recreational.
Also, when the GPS is hooked up to my Mac and Basecamp is running, I don't see Western Lands Ownership map either, but the base topo map that came with the device is there.
Switching it and then putting it back to recreational didn't change anything.....

Ok, so I went into the maps settings and I see the Western Lands overlay maps there and it is enabled, but they overlays are still not appearing on my GPS.
Here are the co-ordintes for one particular area I know is a BLM chunk but it does not appear any different on my GPS.....44 25'46.36 / 119 30'06.52.
I've also checked out other spots 100's of miles from there and still nothing.......
I doubt I did anything wrong since the Western Lands overlay map shows in my maps and is enabled, so I'm wondering what the heck is going on.
Thanks a ton for all the advice thus far.....I'd like to figure this one out!

Sorry about not posting sooner, I was at a wedding this weekend and away from my computer.
I'm going to give your advice a shot and see where it leads.
It is for the state of oregon, and I did zoom in over areas with BLM ground and it did not show up. I'm assuming my pre-loaded maps are being displayed on top of the BLM maps.
I'll take a look in the am and see where it gets me.
More tomorrow......

So I downloaded a western lands ownership map for my garmin 62ST.
Obviously it already has a topo map on the GPS since it's the topo version of the 62. My issue is that I appear to have successfully loaded the maps, n=but they don't appear to show up on the GPS. I don't have a sim card installed, so do I need one?
Any help or advise on this........
