I just brought the map into mapsource and sent it to my device that way. The points are there just still not visible?  Yes they show up in mapsource, everything looks fine on the computer.  I chose the pick axes as the symbol to use because I've used it in the past as a waypoint and that is the symbol that displays if I happen to grab a point on the GPS. It just disappears if I move off of it??

I've tried a few different MP_TYPE's with the same results.  The POI is there its just not visible?
Most recently I used 0x640C

Its not just the maps I make its happened with other maps that I've downloaded from this site also.  I'll look into it a lil more this evening when I get home from work
Thanks again

Thanks for the reply but I don't think thats going to help I'll give it a try later today.  I remember this same problem happening with this unit when I first bought it.  I got a custom map for the BWCA and the same problem occured  the line work was visible but the symbols (POI) were not showing up unless you clicked on the actual POI then it would show up while you had it selected and as soon as you navigated off the point it is gone again.
This leads me to believe that its not something I did wrong in making the custom map but is instead something wrong with the GPSr that is not displaying the points?  I've never been able to fix this issue and always just unload and load waypoints and vectors for each trip instead of being able to turn on/off maps.  I've never had an issue displaying waypoints?

I have an Oregon 450T  and I made a custom map in Global Mapper and exported it as a polish .MP file.  I used cGPSMapper to convert it to a .img.  I uploaded it on my unit however the points are not visible?  I can get lucky and click on one and it shows up with all the right information but when I "let go" of the symbol its gone again.  All the linework is present but none of the symbols are visible

I can see certain things with the basemap such as mountain symbols and other symbols associated with the base maps however I can't see any points in the bwca map they show up on mapsource on the computer but when I move it over to the gps they are not visible they're there just not visible.  any one else have this problem?  I'm new to the whole gps technology so it might be a simple fix that I just don't know about.  I've tried changing the zoom levels but that didn't work any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I've got the BWCA map on my garmin 450t
however only the portages (lines) are showing up the camps (points) are not showing up
I've tried setting different zoom levels but nothing seems to work.
the points are there, I know this because if you touch the screen where one should be it gives you the name and info for that site and the icon appears however as soon as you release that site it becomes invisable agian
I've tried it with the 100k map that was on the gps and also with the 24k map i downloaded but i have the same problems any help will be appreciated
thanks
