[Az-Geocaching] Southwest Trails mapset for Garmin GPSr's Released!

[Mark Fleming]

Hi Patrick,

I'm assuming you're talking about the view on your GPSr. Here's what I say
on the website :

The Southwest Trails mapset should overlay any other mapset present on your
GPS unit. It is important to note that when you upload maps to your
receiver, the existing mapset on the unit will be deleted. (Newer firmware
versions on the Colorado and Oregon receivers allow for multiple map files
to coexist on the units, but unless you remember to rename an
already-uploaded map file, the new upload will be given the same default
name as the existing one and overwrite it.) This means that if you want
Southwest Trails to overlay City Navigator maps, for example, you will need
to upload the chosen City Navigator maps along with Southwest Trails all at
once. To switch between mapsets (if more than one has been loaded to your
GPS) simply toggle the hide/show settings for the desired mapsets on your
receiver.

This means that you need to also load any additional maps, like City
Navigator, back on your GPSr when you load Southwest Trails. Otherwise, the
only thing that will get written is Southwest Trails, and you'll only see
trails.

Thanks,

Mark
