The loading bar gets to 43% and the acquiring sat page appears . get sat signals no problem . i go to main menu set up menu go to maps . here i get a list of the maps available. the only map on the list is int marine point base map jan 2001. none of the maps ie v4 are listed . do i need to remove this int marine point map that was probably installed from new or just use the option to hide it. i didnt want to have to use the computer and map source cd to move the v4 maps onto the gps as it looked a bit of a process . is there something i need to do to get my 76 csx to read the pre loaded card . is the file to big . when i go to card info on the gps it tells me its 76% full. so it knows its there but wont read it . i was looking forward to seeing the topo maps while flying as well as streets and forest tracks etc while flying cross country in my hang glider beats a black screen with the odd waypoint . look forward to receiving some advice cheers matthew
