Garmin Great Britain topo v2

Sure thing, will do that now and feed back results. My mistake for not using the file manager app, I didn't get that part of the process but will stick to the guide as everybody else seems to have breezed it.

OK, have done that but no .sis file on the SD card. I have again checked the guide, it says to run the downloaded .exe file, the problem is the down load is not an exe file. This is the point where I can not follow the guide. What am I missing here? or is the process different for the "UK stand-alone" version downloaded from [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] on the garmin forum?

Understood. I will not post here until I am back on the trail of the topo software. I was about to ask if this was inappropriate for the topic, apologies for the digression but much gratitude for the guidance and patience.
For the benefit of others like me, if you download theGarmin XT V 5.00.60 UK US Gk standalone version on the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] thread, you will not find an .exe file and so will not be able to follow the guide (as detailed in my previous posts). As Catymag has instructed download the file from Catymags first post and everything makes sense. Sometimes I have to make a mistake to learn a lesson so sorry for that.

Yes, it should work well with GB TOPO v2 on a GPSMAP 78s.

Mind my stupid question: I have downloaded it, installed it and unlocked it for usage with mapsource. How can I transfer it into the SD card for use in my Oregon 450? there is no single gmapsupp.img file? All I found is a directory under the c:\garmin folder called topogb2 with many files. please help, and again I apologize for my gross ignorance. TIA

Connect your gps to the computer with usb.
Select the parts of the map you want to transfer with the "select" tool in Mapsource.
Click the transfer to gps icon in Mapsource, select internal memory or sd card and there you go.
Remember that the existing map in the gps can be overwritten, backup before to be on the safe side.
And best of all: there are some great tutorials in this forum, check the sticky threads!
