I recently bought my first GPS for geocaching and backpacking adventures with my kids. I also bought the Topo 24 Northeast maps and loaded the microSD card. The picture on the box shows a color relief map, and all I have is topo lines with roads, no color contour relief. Is this normal? Is the picture on the box of a different map upgrade? :huh:

Some of us like it that way :), but to turn on shaded relief Setup>Map>Advanced Map Setup>Shaded Relief. Also in the Advanced Map Setup Menu take a look at Text Size. Buried there is a "Landcover" setting that will turn Landcover on or off and set the size it renders at.
