Thanks eaparks, that is a better way.  How do you set a level to empty though?

Map Making Support / GPSMapEdit Levels
November 14, 2009, 09:27:38 AM
Hello folks,

   I've downloaded some 24K topos for my Garmin Astro and am making some transparent trails.  Everything looks great on my GPS, the only thing left to do is to get the levels right so that it looks like a regular trail.  Right now the trail shows up at any zoom level on the GPS.  Is there a tutorial on how to set this or can someone help me with the settings?  Right now I have the Level 0 and Level 1 set by default when I click the 'Insert Before' button.  Thanks.

Hello, first I'ld like to say what an awesome site this is.  It is generally believed that you can only use Garmin maps, but not only does this site provide better maps (at least for topos) but it shows you how to create your own. 

I am using the NY topos downloaded from here and want to make my own transparent .img to overlay some trails like the OP does.  I chose the correct .img file and open in GPSmapedit.  I delete all object and add .gpx file.  I convert to polyline.  I set transparent = Y and export as .img.  I use mapsettoolkit to create and install into mapsource and load both NY topo and my transparent .img onto my Astro 220 (60csx) gps.  However, I only see my transparent .img, not the NY topo.  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong.  Thanks.
