Thanks for tip on getting the turn by turn.  Once I zoomed in quite a bit, I was in fact able to see the map--thanks!  I assume the basemap is the first priority map, and will "override" viewing any other map I upload, correct? 

Hi,

I just got a Garmin 450, which only come with a basemap.  I installed Mapsource, Training, Mapinstall, Basecamp all on my computer. I want to install 24k maps so I can do turn by turn and also upload maps for areas of the US I am traveling in during August.  I also want to be able to makr my location while I am hiking alone so as to not lose my campsite.

I was able to successfully open up a Northwest US topo map and sent it to my 450.  When I go to Setup-Maps, it is there along with the preinstalled basemap.  If I enable the NW map and disable the basemap, all I see is a blank white map.  Can you tell me what I might not be able to view the uploaded NW map?  Did I need to install Mapsource on the Garmin itself?  If so how do I do that?  I have Windows Vista.

Thanks!  This is my 1st time with a GPS.
