combine maps on oregon 450

[+chief_illini217]

I have downloaded caches for 2 side by side states and when i try to add custom maps for one state it overwrites the other..I have also tried to save those maps on the memory card and they show up on the copmputer but not on my 450...any ideas?

Not sure about the overwriting, but I' pretty sure the maps have to be in a particular folder in the GPS's internal memory to be recognized.

 

I'd test this out if I had my GPS handy...

Make sure the files installed on the GPS have different filenames. Depending on how you install one map, the filename may default to gmapsupp.img, and a second installed map will thus overwrite the first. Install one, rename the file (to whatever.img), then install the second (and best rename that too).

i think i might have just figured it out...i was hoping i could save one topo of illinois to my desktop and combine the state of indiana topo to it as well then send that one combined file to my 450
