verdejt Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I recently purchased a Vista for my girlfriend and wasn't paying attention when I loaded a topo map and it wiped out the preloaded basemap. Is there a way to download the original basemap from somewhere and upload it, or can I just load the map that came with my Vista Cx from the Trip and Waypoint Manager into the Vista?

+Red90 Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 The base map does NOT get deleted. It is still there. Zoom out a ways and you will see it. Quote Link to comment

The basemap in the Vista can can not be written over by other maps. You can see this by zooming out to a large scale on the map page to see areas outside of the area for which you loaded the topo maps. You can disable the topo maps by selecting the menu icon on the map page and going to the setup map option, then select the circled i and then the menu icon again. If you are referring to the poi database that is in the unit you might look at the Vista's update page for the file to reload that to the Vista. Quote Link to comment
verdejt Posted May 7, 2006 Author Share Posted May 7, 2006 okay another stupid question. Is there a way to see how much free memory is available in the Vista? Quote Link to comment
verdejt Posted May 7, 2006 Author Share Posted May 7, 2006 See what happens when you read the manual. I figured it out. Just go to the main page and select setup system and it displays memory usage. Quote Link to comment
