Hello all -

Please forgive my complete ineptitude with technology.  Oregon 600.  I have a number of 1:24000 from this site, MN, WI and ME.  I used the WI map last season to good effect, while hunting up north.  I may be just seeing things.  Is it me, or do these filedepot 1:24000 maps not have as much detail as your average USGS, paper topo?  I don't know what contour intervals are on the filedepot topos, but I get the sense they're greater than the paper versions...am I just seeing things?

An vector-based USGS topo clones available?

Many thanks,

Paul

Boyd,

Sorry.  I've got it now, I think.  The area I was looking is simply fairly flat, so the contour lines do not show much structure of interest.  I compared another area with a screenshot I've seen, and it is fine. 

Thanks very much,

Paul

OK, thanks Boyd.  My detail was set to normal, so I hit "most," hopefully if I can get the map up, that should cure the contour issue. 

Now, I can't seem to select that map.  My menu is slightly different from yours in that under the map menu rather than "select map" you have a "configure map" menu. There are several demo maps in addition to the ones I added.  I've disabled all the maps save the witopo map.  My profile is set to recreational. 

When I click "map" on the main page, I still get my local environs.  Putting in the coordinates for the area I'm looking for, I'm still getting just my local map....confused.  I'm sure I'm just doing something wrong, will have to play, I guess. 

Thanks Boyd.

I should say, that's on basecamp.  I'm sorry Boyd, I really am challenged with this stuff and so I should probably spend some time getting used to the unit.  I have several maps on basecamp and have added them to the GPS, and have disabled all of them on the unit but the witopo map, and in clicking "map," all I get is my current location and environs.  How do I pull up the witopo map once loaded on the unit? 

Thanks Boyd.  Sorry, I now realize the contours are showing, but they don't look like 24K contours to me - very sparse. 

Hi all -

First time user and forgive me if this has been covered.  I added the Wisconsin topo map to Base Camp and my Oregon 600.  The map is showing, but no contours, nothing like the screenshots showing on the download page. 

Can anyone please point me in the right direction?  Sorry if this has been asked and answered.  A luddite, technically challenged.

Many thanks,

Paul
