ahhh... i see. ok my color question is clarified. thanks.

but why are the names of islands e.g. deadmans island in MS labeled along with anchorage and points, but not in gps? the lettering is blue in MS, does that indicate anything as far a it being transferable to the gps or not? or is this just a limitation of the gps too? if so, what model would be able to display those things?

boyd, that is the same area, you just need to rotate MS image 90 clockwise.

thanks for the answers.

hi boyd, thanks for the time to answer my questions. not trying to beat a dead horse here.

i've include a couple of pics of what i'm seeing. if this is as good as it gets, so be it.

the "shot" from my gps is taken with ximage. the only diff is the land being yellow, the land is orange on my gps.

thanks.

thanks for the reply. i can understand the gps not displaying as well as my pc but this is not a washed out color problem.

color wise, the map on MS has the mountains/elevation in light green. the flat city area is displayed white and light yellow, but on the gps ALL the land masses are an orangish brown color. still no names on islands or on bodies and areas of water.

is this a 60csx limitation or is this because of the type of map i dl'ed? if i purchased a map from garmin would it give me the results i am looking for or would that map omit island names and names of bodies of water too?

thanks for the tips on display. my first gps.

hello, i downloaded the topo ak map and loaded it in mapsource. when i downloaded the map to my 60csx it did not look anything like the map in MS. the color is different, the islands don't have names, no names on the bodies of water, etc. the MS map just looked cleaner and sharper. It is not the basemap. any info would be appreciated.
