I have Windows 7 and after downloading MapSource then Florida topo I follow you steps on how to upload to my Garmin Dakoto 20 when I open the MapSource theres no drop down menu in the upper left corner the zoom mag glass is there only. How do I find the map? Confused...

Try downloading this:

Make sure MS is closed when you install it.  Note that this only shows detail at zooms closer than 7 miles.

I should of said I tried that also from one of the threads here I also tried MapBasic and when I right click on Dakoto 20 there isn't any "install Maps"

Ok I finally can find My Trails but when I search my computer it doesn't reconize Florida Topo Map but if I look up uninstall I see it. Man I'm confused as all get out plus I'm not totally comp illiterate....

Can you see My Trails in MapSource/BaseCamp? 

If so, uninstall FL topo and re-install it, with all map viewers closed.

If not read the tutorials.

in mapsource/basecamp, go to view and make sure BASIC map only isn't checked.

Finally figured it out, after hours of messing with it, stepping away from the computer and beer  :o plus your alls help this morning I removed everything and started from square one and found the map under Map Product

Thanks

Glad its working because that map should have just worked out of the box; it shouldn't have needed My Trails.
