Updated report:
With Eric on the phone he was able to walk me through and fix my problem. It seems for some reason my second un-lock code did not record and this made it unable to transfer the map data to my gps receiver. Even though it told me it did...
Anyway it is installed and running. I think adding a pocket protector with 7 pens and a bit of black tape to the bridge of my glasses helped too.
I took the new Garmin 300 Oregon up in the hills for a walk. I was able to walk right up to a BLM border in the middle of a section where no fences are to be seen for quit a ways. Pretty cool!! lightbulb
I am anxious to try the tracking and relaying tracks and waypoints to google earth and be able to print them.
Feeling much better about my new tool and look forward to adding a few more options like the WY map too.
Thanks Len and Eric for your help getting a non computer guy a little more up to speed.

Sorry I wasn't here to answer your questions, I didn't get email notified of a reply . . . **** computers anyway
Glad you got a hold of me by phone.
No matter how computer illiterate you are, I can help you through getting this map installed on your computer and your GPS. Can be a little difficult the first time but we'll get it done.
Just don't use your date of birth as your GPS unit ID!

I should be getting the wy card for my gps tomorrow. When I put card in gps is there any special I need to do? Will I be able to look at Wy. map without being in Wy? My unit is an Garmin Oregon. Thanks

mo, I have an Garmin origon 300. When I got my WY. chip all I had to do was remover the batts and slide the little card in the slot. I replaced the batts went out side and panned clear out and then panned over to WY and zoomed right in on the location I am hunting soon. It was all there and marked in color for BLM, State, and Nat Forest. Simple as can be and I like that...

I bought mine off ebay there is no card in it. Is there anyway to tell if there has been any maps installed on this GPS? If you go to the where to logo it always ask for places in Texas so I'm assuming the guy must have installed a Texas road map, but I don't know.
I live in Mississippi and all it shows is main highways. Why is it this little thing coast so much, and doesn't have any maps. You can buy a Tom Tom or Garmin Nuva for 89.00 dollars, and it has turn by turn of the whole USA.

i hope you got a book with that unit. if not you will need to get one. they do so many things you will need the book. you may have the decluter on? ALSO I THINK THE USA MAP IS ON THE CHIP SO WITH OUT IT IT MAY ONLY GIVE YOU YOUR LOCAL (I MAY BE WRONG)

Got my card in, and everything seems to work great! Is the cards information stored on the gps or does it have to be in gps to work?
