    Why not try?!? You will not break the device!
    Garmin often have variant readings with the reality on official site. It is a usual NT map, and Garmin etrex legend HCx is reading it. May be you lose a some functionality on map but your device lose to it on all modern map. Moreover I see in list the GPSMAP 60/76Cx that have the same navigation engine...
    Garmin, how much is 30 pieces of silver for Judas today? Were they worthy for crucifix of GPSPower?

    Actually it's not NT maps in this case. Garmin legacy OF/Non-NT is used by TOPO Suomi Pro v2. This should be the case for most "true" TOPO maps.

    The "install maps on eTrex Legend" option is greyed out in basecamp. Pic here: OoAyO

    I'm using the imdisk virtual disk driver from this thread:[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] to open the map in Basecamp.

    Am i doing something wrong?

    The "Install Maps ..." in BaseCamp is only for MapSource maps installed to your hard drive. It invokes MapInstall where you pick map tiles from INSTALLED maps.
    IMG-maps is just copied to the destination media. Sometimes it needs to be renamed due to the capabilities of the GPS unit.
