I figured out the problem. On the Garmin Dakota 10 the topography contours do not show on the device when the "user profile" is set to "recreational". Setting the "user profile" to "fitness", "automotive", "geocaching", or "marine" and the contours will show up. I'm not sure why this is, but I guess this is the way it was set up.

I have just purchased a Garmin Dakota 10 with the 100k topo software. When I view the topo 100k in Map source there are roads, railroads. and 25ft contours. My problem is that when I upload the maps to my GPS device, only shaded topography shows up. No roads or contours are visible. I have gone through every setting on the device with no luck. I cannot determine why not all of the information is being transferred to my device. If anybody has any advice it would be greatly appreciated. All I want is contoured topography and roads on my device and I can't figure out how to do this. I have tried downloading maps from this website and contours and roads still do not show up.

I am seeing the contours in Mapsource, but not on my device. I am zooming in well beyond 800m.

I recently purchased a Garmin Dakota 10 with the 100k topo bundle. My question is. When I install these topography maps to my device and zoom in on a location, the contours do not show up and I can't for the life of me figure out how to add contours like in the pictures on the box. The topo maps are enabled and it is really puzzling me.If anybody can help me with this problem I would appreciate it.
