Viewing Topos - USA and Canada?

Hello everyone, first post here, and I need a little help pls!

I'm trying to get some topo maps installed on my Oregon 450.
I downloaded the two topo maps, Ibycus Canada and Ibycus USA.

I used Mapinstall to get the Topo Canada(BC maps only)
and Topo USA(Washington maps only) onto my GPS.

If I enable both maps, only the USA maps are visable. The BC maps
are not shown.( I live in BC) If I disable the USA maps, the BC maps become visable.

I can not get both to be shown at the same time, and can not understand why.
Is it an install issue, a GPS issue, or a USER issue?! lol.

Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance!

Chris

I am unsure what USA mapset you are refering to.
As far as I know and can find in a web search, Ibycus never made a USA topo, only a planimetric (no contour lines) mapset from the 2007 Census TIGER files.
You might receive a quicker (at least authoritative) answer if you contact him directly.  He never was on this website and OZ got permission to host his USA mapset after his web provider cut his unlimited service due to 'overuse'.

FYI - check the mapsets listed here for WA.  There are 5 free topos - WA 24K topo, NW topos, NW US, WA topo 2011, and US Planimetric + NW plus WA contours40ft (to make a topo map).

His USA map might have a higher draw priority and displays after (over) Canada.  Does this occur everywhere in BC, or just near the border?
