That's how I did it. No problems. I have deleted the map and loaded a different one several times. Neither the south central and south eastern have all of Louisiana on them. |

The map loader program will say something like map succesfully loaded. I close out the map loader. Then I use a button that says saflye remove hardware before pulling the card (located in the sys tray). I then put the Micro SD into my astro and turn it on. Press the map button and there it is.

Wish i could help Heavensent, but I have never loaded one with a sd card adapter.
You can see if the map is on the sd card by doing this:
With your unit turned on, viewing the map page
-press menu
-select "setup map"
-scroll over to the "information icon" (it looks like an "i" in a circle)
*if you have a map loaded it will list the file name and the date it was loaded for the map files*
if it shows nothing or default, then you need to start over loading the map to the sd card

Heaven Sent,
You can also put the card in your computer and go to my computer. Find the card and open it to see if any files are on the card. Be sure to start with an empty card.

Go to the map press menu then set up map. On the Map Set up scree go to detail. There are 5 settings Most, More, Normal, Less, and Least. Set this to most then go back to the map, and see if anything changed.

heaven sent, I used an sd adapter and downloaded the map into the microsd card.
I then put it into theback of my garmin. I turned it on and hit the map button and the maps were automatically loaded. It showed my exact location with street names and a nearby creek.

i was having the exact same problem, download the "basecamp" app and use that instead of the map source to load the map into the sd card.
basically a map of what you downloaded from the net shows up. You have to click on small squares and highlight the area you want to load onto the card. then click the button and wait for it to load.
pop it out and put it into the gps and that is all
I cant wait to use it on a hunt
thanks Texas Cur for starting this thread

Loading the maps on my unit right now. Took me a while but I think I have it figured out. I do think they could stand to make it a little more user friendly. They should know us huntin' types aren't computer programers.
