  1. Download and install of 2.0 went fine, however I also have the missing lake color problem....Echo Lake Montana at 48*7.68N 114*1.24W. Also, the nearby Echo Creek Road has correct alignment in City Navigator NT2008, but not in either version 1 or 2. Close but not correct. Thanks.......
  2. If you haven't had the opportunity to drive GTTS you should certainly plan a trip to Glacier Nat Park so that you can do that. Glacier is where the Gods sat when they created the rest of the world, and this road takes you right thru the middle. 2-lane, narrow, very windy, no vehicles/RV's over 21 feet, average speed 20-25 miles/hour. Scenic viewpoints every 50 feet or so, and if you sneeze at the wrong time you may find yourself trying to 'drive' vertically down the face of a cliff. If you want to see some pictures of what GNP is all about, go to glacierparkchat.com and look around. P.S.....if you don't like mountains, forget it.
  3. Icrans, It appears as though your saying the rod stops at Logan Pass coming from the East. The "Going To The Sun Road" IS there and does keep going all the way down past Lake McDonald. Its there but hard to see in Mapsource. It should show up alot better on your GPS. Well, not really....the road is certainly still there, altho' covered so deeply with snow that you wouldn't know it. at least for a couple months. At least it was there last fall when it was closed for repairs. What I meant was that east of Logan pass it is shown as a highway, not a single faint line. The below quote from Snowfleurys on a different thread I think explains it well: "I checked the Census data for Flathead county. Going to the Sun highway is code S1400 (Local/rural road or city street) and not as S1200 secondary road (highway). Flathead county has undergone realignment so the locations should be right on. Just an error in coding by Census and/or the contractor. I am sure there are many more in the data set - always is."

For kicks, could you check the coding of GTTS for Glacier County? GTTS shows fine on the east of Logan Pass, which is the county boundary I think. GTTS was finished in 1932, by the way.... Thanks again......
  5. I just downloaded and executed the Montana update. Going to the Sun road, thru Glacier National Park, still shows the road only on the east side of Logan Pass. Otherwise, that's a great map! Thank you!
  6. The Costco page also says: 'This item is covered by Costco's guarantee to refund your purchase price if you are not completely satisfied. Costco's guarantee applies, even though this item may not be covered by the manufacturer's warranty, because Costco is not an "authorized" dealer of the merchandise.' Now, what does THAT mean???
