Yeah, it's weird I have Win 7 too.
I did manage to easly download the NJ topo in the custom maps section.

Thanks, I downloaded & unzipped the first one, but when I hit Win installer my Norton AV crashed it and trashed it in like a millisecond saying it was a malicious file. Wow, never seen it do that before, usually just get a warning. Anyway, maybe something got into it ?

I'm thinking you want to see what's on those bases. No can do, "national security" and all. And I'd be cautious about walking around them with a GPS. Especially if you look middle eastern.

Hi, been using the old heavy Garmin map60cs for 15yrs now to hike around NJ & PA for a while, but with age & wife not walking that well anymore I've dialed it back to short walks through state & county parks. So I've figured I'd lighten up a bit and buy an Etrex 30x. I've downloaded the old MapSource "MetroGuide USA" Ver5. onto the 32gb memory card. With plenty of space left, I'm wondering if these parks have a downloadable version of their trails map so I know where I'm heading.
Got rid of my smart phone (too much smart, not enough phone for my job) so I'd also like to use it exploring towns & cities. The 15 yr old metro guide works pretty good but I can't update it. Looks like Garmin maps has several downloadable versions of North America, but no explanation on what each one offers.
