Thanks !!   much appreciated.  great forum ....

I appreciate your comments and help.  I guess I under-estimated the learning curve here.

I looked at screen shots of the New York Topo map on your site ( February 2009 files) and it looks like it has lakes roads rivers and topo lines.  Is that a better mapset for me to pursue.  I want to navigate trails for hiking in the ADK's.  Then  I plan to use the 60cSXs for snowmobiling and trail maps.

thanks again for your help.

I had downloaded the latest Mapsource update from Garmin ( 6.16 ) after installing from the CD.

This morning I launched Mapsource and switched product back to Trip and Waypoint Manager V5, which displays fine ( roads and lakes, etc.) then back to mc73_NY.   I now see topo lines and elevation values only, at 7 miles and below zoom factor.  they are faint and look like transparent lines?   I tried to adjust Prefereneces\display but there are no settings for Terrain shading.

I have pasted a screen shot into a doc and attached.  please take a look,
thanks

I downloaded a topo map of NY (mc73_ny), unzipped, then launched Mapsource(6.16.2).  I see the new map listed in the "Select a Product" box and I select.  I get a large white square in the right pane.  I zoom in and Out and then set detail to High or Highest but nothing but white.  when I choose "Map Tool" I get a grid.  If i click a grid on the big white square, a map name appears like " Gloversville" or "Norwich" in the List of Maps on MAP Tab, and it tells me how large the file is and area in mc73_ny.    The selected square turns Pink.  No lines, roads, lakes rivers...  not a single pixel is anything but white ( or pink).

What's Up???
