View Full Version : Vista HCx Map Download

I have just upgraded to a Vista HCx and downloaded Metroguide,
But when I download Shonky it takes precedence over Metroguide and even seems to have deleted Metroguide.

Going into Maps, merely shows the 100 or so maps that make up the Shonky Mapset, so there doesn't appear to be a way to toggle between the various mapsets.

I want to also download Contours, but fear this will override Shonky even though the information on Contours says it is transparent and sits over other mapsets.

Also Contours does not seem to want to sit over another mapset even on Mapsource on my PC.

Any suggestions?

Also Contours does not seem to want to sit over another mapset even on Mapsource on my PC.Mapsource cannot view two maps. it only toggles. Your GPS can view multiple maps ie a map + contours transparent overlay.

Thanks Nicko and Wahroonga worked a treat!
Do you know if Shonky and Contours would still be on the SD card, from when I downloaded them separately, or would the layered Shonky and Contours have overwritten them?

If they are still there, how can I delete them, if indeed I need to?

If you listened to what I said in the video you will know that transferring a map will overwrite the original map.

Sorry mate, sound card faulty, so I only 'watched' what you did!
