From all the screenshots of MapSource I have seen, there's also supposed to be a drop-down menu that should appear to the left of the zoom in icon. I am not seeing that either and instead it is just blank. The "City Navigator North America NT 2012.10.gmap" folder is located at C:\Document and Settings\myname\Application Data\GARMIN\Maps. Please help.

Be sure you have unticked in View menu " Base map only"-
Or try to install also a base map like this one

Thanks. I had to go to view -> Switch To Product and then select the city navigator. One more question. I have tried looking at tutorials but I am unable to find an answer. My Garmin folder in my GPS is shown in the screenshot. To move all the 152 Maps to my GPS, which files can I delete from the GPS? "gmapprom.img" and "gmapprom1.img" are the biggest files but I read somewhere that I shouldn't mess with those. Also, my numi 270 has an SD slot which never had an SD card in it. After making room on the GPS, all I have to do click on "Send to device" right? Thanks.

Your mapsource, once selected the map tiles you want to transfer, will build just one .img and will send it to your gps or, if your MS is patched, to any drive.
If the map is an update of your previous one, backup it along its .unl file and .gma ,delete them from gps , send the new .img to C: ,unlock it with Fast Img Unlocker then copy it to your gps. Concerning the name, it depends on units and if you want to send to sd or internal mem.
If it is an update, rename it exactly like the old one you want to replace in gps.
To understand a bit more about what is contained in your gps, look at your .imgs with Gmaptool
