Well, I have a report on getting "arizona topo" onto the unit, garmin support via chat was actually very good. The rep actually went to the site and downloaded and installed the map onto his unit.  I got it to work on mine (on the unit itself) by installing through basecamp.  here are the steps.

• Power device on and make sure its on the MAP screen showing your current location
• Press the MENU button once and select MAP LAYERS
• Make sure the TOPOACTIVE is DISABLED
• After that back out to the map screen again
• Press the MENU button twice to get into the main menu
• Select SETUP
• Select MAP
• Select MANAGE MAPS
• Make sure the ARIZONA TOPO is ENABLED
• Now you can use the QUIT button to get back to the map and should be ready to go.

It doesn't seem to see it on my sd card, but i just ordered a 16gb card per jolly47roger's advice and i'm also going to test partitioning my 32gb card to make it slightly smaller.  I'll follow up when that is done.

Thank you to all who tried to help.

Thanks Boyd,
I'll look into that thread. Overall the unit is good, there is just some additional information on those older maps that I would like to have with me in the field. USGS maps show some old mines and prospects that don't show up on newer maps.
I'm also not opposed to berating garmin support until i get batter answers.

Hello,

My trusty 62csx finally died and I picked up a 67. I'm having no luck installing 3rd party apps on this unit.  Has anyone been able to figure it out. I've been trying to get Arizona Topo and USGS quad sheets onto the unit using basecamp and directly to the sd card, but the unit doesn't see them and or I'm a fool.

Thank you for your help.
