justincredible76 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I have this software and when I create a map of a region - it does not seem to include the streets so I can use it while on the road. I know the Topo version has streets (it says it does) and a few years ago when I bought it the maps I created had street info. Now, no matter what I do (in the Software and on the GPS itself) I can't figure out how. This is frustrating me as I will be on a one-week roadtrip to Atlanta and would like these maps. To my knowledge, I never had to do anything different to get this feature. I'd simply create a region, download it to my GPS, and select the map, and it would work. I even played with the map settings on the GPS (detail). Any ideas??? Thanks Quote Link to comment
+embra Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 What model GPS are you using? It sounds like a SporTrak or a Meridian...and indeed, once the map is uploaded you just select the detail map in card utilities (in the Meridan...don't know exactly how one accesses it on a ST) and you should be good to go. Are you zoomed in close enough? Are you generating the file from a newly defined region? Is your display within the uploaded regions in the file? If you zoom way, way out do you see rectangles defining the detail map area? Quote Link to comment
justincredible76 Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 thx for the help. after trying many things, I formatted my SD card and updated firmware. It now works. Strange, since everything worked before. Quote Link to comment
Free2BeMe Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 When you created your map in Mapsend Topo 3D, you may have had the option to turn off/on POI's and Topo deselected. This would leave you with a basically blank map I think. Glad you got it corrected anyway. Quote Link to comment
