I just bought an Oregon 450 and I downloaded the 24k Topo US West map product. I bought an 8GB microSD card and installed it into the 450.
I had trouble getting the download onto the device because it apparently tries to download to the internal memory, of which there isn’t enough in the 450 for the Topo West product. Eventually I got the map product onto the microSD card and it seems to be working fine in the 450 unit.
I want to be able to open the map on my MacBook Pro and add my own waypoints and routes and then download that information from the Mac to the 450. But I can’t get the 24K West map to display on the Mac—I’ve tried using Base Camp, and done all the ancillary installs, but Base Camp just doesn’t read the 24K West files.
I also want to be able to capture waypoints in the field and then upload them to the Mac to see them on the map.
Where can I get clear, complete and accurate instructions on how to do these basic functions?
Many thanks.
