Using maps from XD card

[+LDB415]

My Oregon 450t arrived in the mail. I installed the xd card below the batteries. How do I know if I am getting the topographic maps that came in it or the city navigator maps from the xd card? Can I swap back and forth and if so how?

 

Oregon 450 owners, what batteries are you finding work best? Any tips/tricks/hints/warnings I should know about? Thanks for any and all input.

Small piece of advice (if it's not too late)....

Get your maps on disk or download. If you muck up the card for some reason -- you are out of maps altogether. You cannot create backups from a (purchased) map-card.

 

We use another brand GPSr, so I will defer the first question to others more knowledgeable regarding Garmin maps.

 

You *should* be able to switch back and forth through the main menu.

 

Batteries -- only one piece of advice: brand-name, quality batteries. Either disposable or rechargeable.

Especially as of late -- you get what you pay for.

Pay for junk and that's what you get, in some cases damage to equipment occurs... and just try to get them to buy you a new GPSr!

I bought my xd card through Amazon so unless I can make a backup copy from it I don't have a way to have a backup. It only cost me $27 though so if I had to buy another it wouldn't be a full hit.
