Question on loading maps on to a handheld Garmin

[+Janeybee123]

When I load a map onto my Garmin hand held GPS does it load all maps or just the one shown on the page?

Thanks Janeybee123

You need to be more specific on which map page, and which Garmin hand held GPS you are talking about.

 

If you load a cache GPX file from the Geocaching.com web site, no maps are loaded with it.  A Garmin GPS has pre-loaded maps, and you may load more, but it will be one map layer at a time (one type of map), and one area (may be a large area).  You'd load a map by following the instructions on whatever map file site you get the map from.
