E-map memory card problem

This question can go under the "clueless newbe" section.

 

I just got my E-map deluxe from Amazon and installed the 8 meg memory card. Under the main menu, the "map source info" selection is greyed out. I figured I just needed to upload the data from my Map Source Topo CD to the E-map and the device would recognize the info. Of course it didn't work.

 

Some of the data transfers but the "map source" selection is still greyed out.

 

My guess? A bad 8 meg card.

 

Anyone have any ideas. Of course I'll call Garmin in the morning, just wondering if I'm missing something.

 

Thanks,

rh

O.K. , I can answer my own question. Read the manual. Well, actually I don?t think the manual covers it too well but...

 

My mistake was that I was assuming that the 8 meg card would accept a download from the mapsource disk without specifying a particular area. In other words I was trying to download the entire cd to the emap. Lets see, 600 megs onto a 8 meg card doesn?t work. You have to use the map tool and select a smaller area that can be downloaded to the emap.
