Hi, I downloaded the Iowa Topo map.  I'd like to plug in coordinates using map datum WGS84 from my paper trout map and pinpoint a stream location on the Iowa Topo map.  For example, I'd like to use 43.396042/-91.589994
Just pressing Where To and then Coordinates on my DK20 didn't work. I then tapped Set Up, then Position Format. I do have Map Datum set to WGS 84. However, when I return to the Coordinates section, I'm unable to type in the coordinates in same format that are printed on my paper trout map.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi, it's taken hours but I'm slowly figuring out how to install Maps on my pc and my new Dakota 20.  I downloaded Iowa Topo from GPSFileDepot to my PC but was unable to load it to my Dakota 20.
In BaseCamp I had to select 'Global Map' in a drop-down menu to then R-click on Dakota 20 to have the option of 'Install Maps on Dakota 20'.  However, when I did this. a dialog box appeared reading "MapInstall could not find installed product...pls unstall MapSource product". After clicking OK, another box appeared indicating a run-time error for MapInstall.
  Finally, with a little help, I wondered if problem was related to the particular map I installed. I could never 'open' or 'run' the map, I only received the installer box asking me if I wanted to install it. I've re-installed it a few times...from this box and by returning to FileDepot's website.  So, then I tried another map..a trail map. victory! MapInstaller popped up...  The newest map is a transparent one, so I didn't continue.  I want the topo map installed first.
  Does anyone have any advice on how I can get the Iowa Topo map installed on my Garmin?
