Thank you,  Boyd! The SendMap20 application worked like a charm!  :)

Thank you for the replies.

I don't know much about the .img files. There is no documentation that accompanies them or instructions on how to use them on the S.F. Bay Area Midpeninsula Regional Open Space Preserve Web site.

To answer Seldom's question, no they do not turn pink with a yellow line when I select them in Mapsource. The maps appear to have been correctly compiled, though. They display the park names, regions, topography, elevations, trails, and even parking waypoints.

I will try the SendMap20 tool as Boyd suggests. I didn't realize these containers include  instructions pointing to specific tools needed to download the data to GPS devices. I'm not very familiar with the files contained in these images. I tried to mount the images on my desktop but was unsuccessful, so I don't really know what is inside them.

Greetings:

I performed a search of topics but didn't see any threads related to this issue.

I followed the tutorial 'How To Load .img Files Into MapSource or BaseCamp With MapSetToolkit' to create a map in Mapsource from a six or seven .img files I received from the S.F. Bay Area Midpeninsula Regional Open Space Preserve Web site. These .img files were packaged in a zip file and I had to rename them to conform to the eight character numeral format required by MapSetToolkit.

The map loaded fine in Mapsource, but when I tried to load it to my GPS (using tutorial 'How To Load Maps On My Garmin GPS Unit' (Garmin Colorado 300)) I was unable to select the map to send to my device. Is it because I'm using the free version of cgpsmapper for Windows? I'm able to select segments of my Ibycus USA 2.0 map just fine.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
