GPSr Units / Oregon 400c basic use questions
February 03, 2010, 07:00:15 AM
New to the forum and GPShandhelds.  I purchased an Oregon 200 in Nov and was learning my way around it...only to have it stolen from my truck. I recently replaced it with a 400c, great price, even though I won't use the coastal maps very often.  As with my 200, I've downloaded Alabama topos from this site. I use my 400 for hunting, hiking, and some auto use.  I have a 1G card that I have my maps on.

My Issues; It seems that on NORMAL map detail, I can't zoom in past 800ft or I lose all map detail (topo lines, streets, water) except my tracks and waypoints. If I lower the detail I can zoom more, but even on LEAST I can only get 200ft without losing all detail.  Is this normal? I don't remember this with my 200.  What am I doing wrong?

Also, on the unit and on Mapsource, I get a "as the crow flies" track to recent waypoints. How can I stop this?
