viewing two countries Simultaneously

| Hello, I live right by the Canada/US border her in BC and have yet to
find a way to display both Canadian and US maps simultaneously. Is
there a way to have a seamless view of both countries?
I have a 60csx unit and have loaded all the appropriate maps but the
unit won't show both areas.
Thanks,
Daryl

Daryl,
Specifically, which map products do you have loaded? City Nav NA v.7
(covers US and Canada), or what?

It is possble to make a new mapset consisting of tiles from several
products as long as they don't overlap. Choose the tiles you wish to
use. If locked open them with the last version of GPSmapedit, save them
to mp format, recompile them to img format with cgpsmapper, use any of
several available programs to make a new mapsource product of your
border regions. IMG2MAPSOURCE is one, M3 from www.malsingmapsforum.com
download area another - and free, registration needed though.
If the tiles aren't locked, you simply choose the tiles you want and
make a new product. if you don't care to see it on the PC, you can use
sendmap20 to make a file to transfer to the GPS.
Note that for french topos this isn't good since you'll loose
autrouting through recompilation.
If tiles overlap you need to make one of them transparent to show on
top of the other. For this you need to edit the individual img file in
mp format.
This problem is quite common. A lot of people live in areas where
regional or national products meet.

Alas, then, I cannot duplicate your arrangement in my 60Cx. I have the
US Topo maps but not those for Canada. I plan to acquire them when next
I travel that way (I was in Vancouver on my way to Alaska in May, but no
Canada topos needed for that!).

| How do I open locked maps in GPSmapedit ? I tried to do that with
latest update - 1.0.30.5 and i got the "WARNING: The map is locked.
(NOTE: such maps are not supported by intention)." message
