For some reason there has been number of posts, but I only got 1 notification. I loaded 8 states maps into my unit. Keep in mind you can only load 1 file on the card, so if you try to load a second map, it will overwrite the old one. You have to load all the maps you want at one time. Go to this forum to see my questions regarding this: http://forums.gpsfiledepot.com/index.ph ... 008.0.html Not sure why your map is coming up black. Mine seems to work fine, I don't lose any on screen data. I have only used it once in the field, though. Also, I only downloaded 24K maps. I'll try to check this thread more often if you have any questions, or you can just PM me. I'm no expert, I just have a lot of trial and error experience on the loading maps into the unit. I'm still learning to use the unit in the field. |

http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/ You have to select a State from the dropdown and then hit "Go" under the box titled "Search for nearby maps", or you could just hit "Go" to see all the maps available (not recommended). This will bring up a list of maps in links that you can click on to preview, and determine if you want them or not. They should all have a description, and some have screen shot images. Be sure to read the tutorials to see how to load them to your Astro. You'll need to install mapsource, which should have came with your Astro, or I think you can download for free from Garmin.com Hope this helps. |

I'm assuming you bought a loaded card instead of buying a blank card and loading the free ones, correct? I have the free downloads on my own card, so I can't answer if there's a way to copy it, but I assume not. However, once you put it in your unit you should never have to take it out, so it is highly unlikely something will happen to it unless you lose the whole Garmin Unit. |

| Post subject: | garmin 320 BEV and topo help |
I have the topo saved on a micro sd and i was wondering if I can save the topo on the 320 so i could take the sd card and save all the BEV it will hold. I have a 4gb sd. I downloaded the basecamp on my computer and it finished downloading then i clicked to open it and it froze up. That was last night and it's still there trying to open and will not close. I've looked and there is just not very much info on this out there that I could find. Thanks for any help |

Honestly, I did not know they came out with the 320. I have not hunted much, nor used my Garmin much, in the last two years because I've been in night school. I graduate in April, which will free me up to do some serious coon hunting. A cursory search found this, which I hope helps you out: http://pub16.bravenet.com/forum/static/ ... 3&cmd=show |

I've looked and there is just not very much info on this out there that I could find. Thanks for any help THE BEV IS LOADED INTO THE DEVICE ITSELF AND ONLY TO THE DEVICE (320) THAT YOU HAVE REGISTERED FOR THE BEV SUBSCRIPTION. THE BEV IS NOT DOWNLOADED ONTO THE SD CARD. THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH SPACE IN THE DEVICE. YOU CAN DELETE AND THEN ADD FOR LIKE IF YOUR GOING SOME PLACE TO HUNT,YOU CAN JUST DELETE SOME WHERE ELSE AND ADD WHERE YOUR GOING.WHEN YOUR DOWNLOADING IT WILL SHOW HOW MUCH ROOM IS LEFT IN YOUR 320 FOR MORE DOWNLOAD ON THE COMPUTER YOUR DOWNLOADING WITH. IF YOU GO TO YOUTUBE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFO THAT IS HELPFULL TO DOWNLOAD THE BASECAMP THEN WHAT GARMIN HAS ON THIER SITE. ONCE YOU GET THERE TYPE IN GARMIN BASECAMP.OR WHATEVER AND THERE IS A COUPLE VIDEOS ON THERE THAT ARE REAL HELPFULL. THE TOPO IS NICE CAUSE IT WILL OVERLAP THE BEV AND LABEL THE RDS AND STUFF FOR YOU. MAKES IT LESS CONFUSING WHEN LOOKING AT ALL THE TREES AND STUFF LIKE ON GOOGLE EARTH. YOU CAN ALSO SHUT THE BEV MAP OFF OR DISABLE IT ON THE 320 BY GOING TO MAP ,THEN HIT MENU ,THEN THE MAP SETUP PG. AT THE BOTTOM IT WILL HAVE A PLACE TO GET ON THE MAP PG SHOWING ALL YOUR MAP TYPES LISTED IN YOUR DEVICE.THE BEV WILL APPEAR BELOW THE TOPO. IF YOU TAKE THE TOPO CARD OUT THE BEV WILL STILL BE ON YOUR DEVICE. |
