The find by name and routing worked in my receiver (60CSx). The map displayed well in an old version of MapSource, but not with 6.16.2. I took the big .img file in the download, copied to another folder, and installed in Mapsource with MapSetToolKit, and that displayed fine, (I have cGPSmapper routable (now only $40), don't know if that'd work with the free cGPSmapper), but this map won't have find by name, so be sure to transfer the original map to your receiver. I've attached a trail report and author's notes I saved when I downloaded this file originally at Mapcenter2.
In Find addresses in my receiver, in <Enter Number> you must put in a blank by scrolling over to OK, and press enter, then you can use the <Enter Street Name>. I don't think any of the streets (or highways) are associated with a particular city.

5 days later...Yes, it was the new version of Mapsource causing a bad display. Here is an excellent discussion on how to run several versions of Mapsource on your computer: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. It's safe, easy and quick. Most popular old versions are 6.13.7 and 6.15.7. This map works with these versions. 6.15.7 is more colorful. I guess a lot of home-made, third-party maps won't work well in the newer Mapsource versions.
I'm sure this is covered in this forum somewhere too, but if you don't have Mapsource, here is one way to get it: Go to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and download (don't run) the version you want. Then follow instructions at [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Haven't tried this myself as I do have Mapsource.
I just tested the link at top [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and it still works. By the way, if you don't have Mapsource and just want to load the .img directly to receiver, use a program like 7-Zip to extract the files from the downloaded .exe file.
