GPSr Units / Re: GPSIII plus: text missing from topo maps
September 05, 2009, 08:24:51 AM
No it does not display anything for Interstates,  U.S. or state roads except
for the generic name "ROAD".  I am probably out of luck. because I have
found no updates available for this older unit when searching the internet.

I was aware of this feature, however I get no meaningful text when
placing GPS cursor over the feature.  It only displays generic names
like "Road", "Railroad", "River" ,etc.  And it displays nothing when
putting cursor on topo contours. 

Another thing I have observed for the topo contours is, with certain
text size setting on the GPS, the contour lines are labelled with "FT",
but with no numbers.

GPSr Units / GPSIII plus: text missing from topo maps
September 04, 2009, 03:58:21 PM
I have an older GPSIII plus and I download the Ohio topo map.   I also updated
to the latest MapSource  I managed to get a topo map loaded into the the GPS with
MapSource. The map works in that it displays roads and topo contours but it will
not display any text.  Everything shows up OK in MapSource on the computer. 
Also the Mapsource maps work fine in the GPS. Is there something I am missing
that could correct this?
