Thanks for the explanation!

Thanks - that makes sense.

Just for my own information, how does this differ from a "Route", which is also a connected series of points displayed on top of an underlying map?

Thanks for the reply.  Yes, I did read the instructions on the main page, but when I ran the installer it appeared to me that it didn't install the map.  I uninstalled it, then re-downloaded it and once again ran the installer.  When I open BaseCamp, it does show "My Trails" as a map.  However, it's nothing like what I expected, and nothing like the example pictures shown on the main page.  The first screenshot below shows the area (Lassen National Park) using the Basecamp global map.  The second shows the same area using the "My Trails" map.  It doesn't seem to be a map at all, only a few trails (no contours or background).  What am I missing?

I'm trying to use MapSetToolkit to install the "My Trails" file.  I used the setup wizard but it did not install the file.  I'm now using the tutorial for "Map has a .tbd file" and have filled in all the information under "Install a existing Mapset" (see attachment).  However when I click "Install", I get the message "Family ID exist" (which is quite possible).  While the window shows the Family ID (as 25) I'm unable to change it to something else.  How can I do that? 

Also, a point of confusion: the tutorial says "The Map Has a .tdb File:  Follow this part of the tutorial if the map you downloaded has a .tdb file and a .img file that doesn't have a name containing only numbers."  In the present case, the mapset has a .tdb file, and it has both a .img file that does not have a name containing only numbers (My Trails.img) and one that does (00001262.img) .  Am I using the correct tutorial?

Thanks for any help!
