Where'd my CN go?

[+DangerJudy]

This morning I cleared all of the waypoints out of my GPS and put in a new pocket query of locacl caches.

I was going to hit a cache near work, selected it, navigate, on road (till I get there I use the on road mapping), and it didn't work. So I checked and my CN8 is no longer installed on my Legend CX. Is it normal for clearing waypoints to also clear your installed maps?

 

PS the last time I used my GPS I used CN8 the whole time. This is the first time I've used it since then (4 days ago).

One possibility:

From your map page press menu, select "setup map" and press enter. From the map setup page press menu again and make sure that CN8 hasn't been de-selected. It should say "hide CN8". If it says "show CN8" than you want to select that and press enter.

 

Edit:

I just realized you said the unit is an "X" model, in which case the maps are on the card and none of what I said may apply.

I'd go with Klatch's suggestion as the most likely. Another possibility... did you use Mapsource to upload new waypoints? If so, ensure you didn't have the upload "maps" checkbox also checked, just the waypoints.

 

post Klatch-edit edit : a-ha, an X unit. I got nothing.

I just checked - CN8 is not showing up. Also I used 'delete' under the waypoints menu to delete the waypoints, and GSAK current version to load my new pocket query.

I've seen this before on my 60CSx...check that the microSD card i properly inserted. Mine came loose once and all I had was the basemap until I reinserted it properly. Good luck.

Reseated the card and still no map, it was a good suggestion though. I reloaded the regions I wanted, no problems there. I guess the cause will remain a mystery
