I looked in the Tutorial on sending a map to a Garmin, but didn't see reference to this warning I get in Mapsource, so I'm asking here.....
Got my first Garmin handheld. An old Legend (8mb of memory). Just got a new cable put together and it is able to talk to Mapsource. I even updated the FW from 3.60 to 3.90 and have been playing with transferring WP's. All is good except.....
There's only 8MB of internal memory, so I wanted to see what a small chunk (2.64 mb) of your detailed SETopo map would look like on the legend. The basemap is all that is on the unit now.
I went through the steps to transfer that section of the SETopo to the GPS, but got a warning. Something about "You are about to erase Garmin Preprogrammed data (if you transfer)...but that you could go to Garmin (a link included) to recover this data later", etc.
Is this saying that I will erase a part (or all of the ) of the stock basemap or something?
I'd really like to see what a topo map would look like on the legend, but I don't want to damage the basemap in doing so. Thanks.
