Boyd, what you are saying sounds correct.  The drop down list in step 2 of the tutorial using Mapsoruce and step 6 using Basecamp does not appear for me.  I can't see where I am not following the tutorial but will study it again.  I went back and downloaded and ran the training center, Mapsource, and Basecamp again.  I got Mapsource and Basecamp And Mapinstall to run but cannot get that dropdown list.  What shows on the screen for me is different.  Thanks for the help.

I hope that I am doing this correctly.  In response to the question by seldom sn, I could see the GPS unit and its files in the left hand box but not the micro SD card installed in it.  When trying to download straight to the SD card when installed in the computer the card showed up. 

In Basecamp, it showed me the map of the world but I could not get it to select an area.  I tried different methods but didn't find anything that worked for me. 

Thanks for the response.

Just got a Oregon 450.  Not familar with GPS units.  Tried to download a map to a SD-micro in my desktop and also tried with it in the GPS.  I have downloaded the training, mapsource, and basecamp.  Mapsource keeps giving me a message that my system is not compatable.  I've tried it on computers with xp up to Windows 7.  Basecamp ran but I cannot get an area selected to download.  It showed me a map rathar than a list of tiles as in the tutorial.  It ran from explore, not from clicking on the exe. file as in the tutorial.  I couldn't get to the exe file.  My computer skills are not the best.  Can someone tell me where I'm missing it?  Thanks.
