OK, so I re-installed mapsource and now the maps show up correctly.  Now I tried to transfer them to my gps and at the end I got an error that said there was a problem communicating to the device and that if I keep getting the error, I may have to restart it.  Any thoughts?  Do I need to somehow reset the device?  If so, how do I do that?

Unfortunately it has a serial port...  So, I was pretty sure that was the reason it didn't work in basecamp.  Thanks for the verification.

I think I tried restarting mapsource, but I'll try it again.  If that doesn't work, I'll un-install it and then re-install and report back soon.

I'm not sure how to tell what version I have.  What is the best way?

Looking for some help here.  I'm taking my son camping tomorrow and I'm trying to get the mitopo11 loaded onto my etrex legend using mapsource.

I downloaded and ran the executable file from this site and it created a mitopo11 folder with all the .imp files, the .TDB file and the .TYP file.  But they don't show up in mapsource like the tutorial says it should.

Just to see, I also loaded basecamp.  the map shows up fine there.  But, basecamp doesn't recognize my etrex legend so that does me no good.

How do I get mapsource to show the mitopo11 map?

Thanks!
