I will be doing a Superior Hiking Trail hike this fall. I am trying to combine the MN Topo map and the MN My Trails maps to load to my GPS. If I bring them into MapSource one at a time, I can only see one map at a time. Any ideas on how to do that (I have tried several ways, to no avail).

Thank you! Topo Map Website

P.S. I have the waypoints from the Superior Hiking Trail website, but I thought the other maps may have more detail.

My own experience is limited to Etrex 20 and 62st. The Etrex 20 only can display 1 map at a time, the 62st can overlay several and display them together. I have not been able to display more than 1 map/overlay at at time on the computer with Mapsource or Basecamp. What are you using?

I have been able to cut and paste in mapsource. I can open more than 1 application of mapsource at a time.
I think this will work. Open the one with the tracks and waypoints you want. Select the tracks and way points you want and copy (Ctrl C). Open the map you want and paste (Ctrl V). Save under a new name (save as).

Thanks Magic, works like a charm! Just starting to spend more time with the Garmin mapping products.
