I have MAGELLAN MapSend Topo for US.

Is there any way to display the topo maps on my PC and print them out?

It appears I can display and area or region and download to GPS.

But I want to see the TOPO map on my PC first.

Thanks..

HAve fun

Just zoom in. the more you zoom in, the more detail is revealed.

Thanks for the reply.

But no matter what zoom level I use. All I get is a street map. I can never display a Topo map on my PC.

?????????

Maybe I should reload this thing??

It makes no sense why it wont show topo??

Thanks again for the reply.

Jersey-

Don't know if I understand. Are you saying that you've loaded TOPO on your PC and can see and print low level maps (.2mi gives me the names of streets) but can't zoom out enough to see the elevation lines? What zoom levels are you able to access? I can see the TOPO lines - major & minor - at any zoom level.

Dumb Question - Is it possible you actually have MapSend USA without TOPO? Do you have the original CD? If so, you might e-mail Magellan support. They take awhile but they do answer.

Otherwise, I think I'd use the add/remove software setting to remove the program (my TOPO doesn't have an Uninstall) and re-install it.

Good luck with this.

Alf

Yes, I have The original disk, purchased by me just recently from Radio Shaft on sale........


Magellan MapSend Topo for the U.S. V 4.20

Loaded into my PC. I can see maps, streets, grid, quick info, scale interval, waypoint labels and can turn all these items off and on from the Options menu.

But I can NOT see the Topo Map, contour lines or anything else. It is turned on in the options menu. Using the Zoom feature, I have zoomed in and out with Topo turned on. Nothing.?????
Tech support on the phone has been an adventure in being on hold................Laughing Out Loud

What the heckcould I possibly be doing wrong??

Ohh and tanx for the reply..........Smile

GEEEE.....................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well this is too funny..............Or maybe just proves Im a Dummy..Laughing Out Loud

I live in south Jersey, flat as a pamcake. I guess I was expecting too much. There are no contour lines to see here.........Laughing Out Loud And I guess I was expecting to see colors as in a real TOPO map.....Smile

I slewed over to the Pocono Mountains in PA, and voila!!!!!!!!!!!

DUH is me..............

Thanks guys and hope this gives everyone a Comedy Break.........
