In my last post I skipped over the part where after I downloaded the map to the 2gb card in the card reader I loaded into the rino.  I then fired up the rino and after it acquired the satellites I went to the map page and zoomed all the way in and out several times and did not see any sign of topo maps.  At that point I started trying to open the files to see if there was any difference in the status.  As far as what maps I see when I turn on the unit there only seems to be the preloaded garmin map.  No sign of any topo maps.

I tried to open the gmapupp.img file first in the card reader and then in the rino by double clicking and also by highlighting that file and then hitting file and then clicking open.  Got the same images failed to mount message.  I don't know if it makes any difference but when I go to the information page on the set up map page the only maps I see are two that I downloaded off of this site.  Those being the Alaska topos and the British Columbia Northwest trails.  I am pretty sure they are loaded on the rino internal memory.  Thanks again for anymore suggestions.

Downloaded the maps to the 2gb card in the reader and get the same error message when I try to open the gmapsupp.img file.  Are my Mac and this model of Garmin just not compatible? 

When I put the 2gb sd card in the reader and open it first I get a Garmin folder.  Opening the folder I get a file gmapsupp.img.  When I open that file I get a box that is titled Image-The following disk images failed to mount.  Reason-no mountable file systems.  ??

Could this be my problem with my 530hcx?  If so how do you get the map file to download to the gpsr unit in the correct file format?  I have been having the same problem getting the Idaho Topo to show up on my unit.  Thanks for any help.

Now I am really confused.  Used web updater and reloaded the software.  Then got a card reader and a 2gb sd card.  Downloaded the idaho topo onto the 2gb card and still have nothing.  When I go to the interface page and open the file I get the message that there are no mountable files on the disk.  I am at a loss.

Think I may have figured out my problem.  I did finally figure out where the interface page is in the system setup menu.  When I access the usb mass storage page and open up the file I get an error message that says no mountable disc found.  Further investigation led me to the discovery that I have an 8gb micro sdhc card installed in the unit.  The owners manual and some further research on the internet would lead me to believe that the rino won't work with the hc card.  It will only use a standard sd card.  Does this make sense?

I just looked through everything on both the rino and my ibook.  Couldn't find any option in garmin mapmanager or any of my other applications nor on any of the pages in the rino that are labeled interface.  I also reloaded the idaho topo map and all the prompts are saying that the transfer was successful.  Could this have anything to do with my trying to use the Mac and my web browser is Safari?  Got any other ideas. 

Obviously I am new to this.  How do I look to see what is on the card?  Do I need some sort of a card reader?  I can't seem to find any way to access the card from the rino.

Just tried zooming in to the max and still no topo map on the screen.  When I go to the setup map page the only maps I see installed are the alaska and british columbia maps that I downloaded from the GPS file depot site.  Got any other ideas?

Yes, I followed the tutorial and my Rino's screen was registering data being transferred.  The installer page also said the transfer was successful.  I just can't find it.  Any other ideas?

New to this forum but here goes.  I have a Rino 530hcx that I am trying to get the idaho topo maps loaded unto.  I have a MAC ibook g4 laptop that I am using to upload the maps to the unit.  I have followed the instructions for doing that, that are shown on the GPS File Depot site.  It is telling me that the maps have been installed successfully but I can't get them to display on the Rino.  I have an 8gb sd card installed in the Rino.  Anyone on this forum that would be so kind as to give me some pointers would be greatly appreciated.
