In that case will making my own maps with the tutorial help this situation?  I am processing the Dem fils as I type and I have downloaded the 100k NHD data.   

It appears that the SE USA mapset on this site has a better coverage of rivers, but it only seems to cover about 20 miles of the south of va.

Thanks for the help.

Here is an example of what I am seeing.  The track is following the river just a couple of days ago.  If I lay the same track over google earth, I have river...

Perhaps I am not doing something right, because I have large parts of rivers missing.  The two that have jumped out at me so far are the Appomattox River through Petersburg and the James in Richmond.  I can get it to display most of the river, but there are a few miles just missing...

I am working through the tutorial to make the whole state of VA into topo.  Hopefully this will help with the river detail.

I started with the base maps but then I added the Ibycus 2.0 map set.  I looked at the instructions for custom maps on this page, but topo data is not that important. 

I just got a Venture HC and I am a bit disappointed wit the river coverage on the maps.  Is there a way to make a decent river overlay that might help out with the coverage?  Sorry for the newb question.
