Hi Patrick, I put together a very rough and big (23MB) video on how this is supposed to work: http://www.outdoor-resources.com/SW_Trails/SW_Trails_How_To.avi Take a look and let me know if it helps. You need to be using Garmin MapSource for this to work. If you are, and it's still not behaving correctly, please send a screenshot so I can see what you see. Thanks!
