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

[Mark Fleming]

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!

Mark
