Thanks for info. Noob to GPS. Did as indicated in pdf but it does not explain issue about PC based view. Tried software again and could follow the trails on the GPS. Your hard work is appreciated.

As long as you get it working on your GPS then everything is cool. It is not really a map for the PC (Garmin Mapsource) as already explained because this map is a transparent map layer intended to sit on top of a base map in GPS, in essence just adding the trail data and the PIOS to the base map you have on you GPS. It works best on top of a Topographical map or even a DEM map if you have a GPS that can display the 3D DEM maps. But I we have a problem with the DEM accuracy here in South Africa being that the best DEM Map for this area currently only sits at 200m accuracy, not nearly as good as the 20m contour lines on the topographical map of the same area. Anyway it now looks like you came right and now you can try it out on a actual hike in one of the most amazing places on earth, but be safe out there and remember to log me some data while you out there so that I can continue to improve the thing with fresh new tracks, even if they are already covered on the map.
You take care now and happy and safe hiking
