  1. ...You have to download all the maps you want from MapSource together at the same time. You can't actually "add" a map, you "replace" maps each time you download.

    - How do you load CN and Topo at the same time. You can only open one at a time in MapSource?? I want to learn how to do that, too. thanks.

  3. If you purcahse a copy of City Select now, you will be able to get a free upgrade to City Navigator. Both mapsets can be kept on your computer and you can use either at will.

     

    - affirmative. I obeyed your suggestion few weeks ago. Now, I have on hands the City Navigator N.America v.8 for free. I got my dvd update at the garmin dealer close my home.

  4. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the pre-programmed micro SD cards with the topo data? Currently, I live in the northeast, and own US TOPO 24K. I wonder if these new micro cards are any more detailed or up to date than the CD Rom version of US TOPO 24K? Would it be worth the $80 for the upper east coast Micro Card for better detail and up to date features?

     

    I was just on Garmin's website trying to determine the same thing. They say the micro cards have the exact same detail as the topo CD's. But I believe the CD's they refer to are less detailed than 24k. You can use their mapviewer to check.

    - I see one of these cards, US East Coast Area, are scalled 100K. Sure, lower details than 24K Topo CDs.
