You run the installer and plug in the unit. It automatically detects the
unit and it detects any maps that you have installed (i.e. Myotis trail
maps). Getting it going is the gravy part. Figuring out how to actually
add the maps to the unit is the confusing part. If I remember right, you
right click the tartget in the left pane and select something like
Install Maps and then it lets you choose what to install. After that it
does everything for you. I don't do it often so I don't remember the
steps exactly.

My understanding is: Don't buy maps, you can get everything you need
free from gpsfiledepot.com. As to how to configure BaseCamp, I can't
help, because I can't figure it out either. People keep saying, "Use
BaseCamp, it's free," but I haven't figured out how to get it
installed and talking to my Oregon yet.

Yikes! I'm looking at the BaseCamp program (and of course I'm lost)
but there's something about the Garmin maps, so I went to the Garmin
site and the road maps are like $80 per item. Well, I guess that's
fine and dandy because I really only need North America, but then
when you look over at the hiking maps, they're by region and they can
be over $100 a pop. So, I guess the next question is: What maps (if
any) have other GO 450 users downloaded into their Garmins? What do
I need and what's superfluous? I should also add that I'm heading to
REI after work today to help me get this silly thing calibrated. I
did everything it told me to do and it said it was calibrated, but it
is still showing the wrong time, the wrong date and it says my cache
(which is behind my office) is 240 miles away. Something's not quite
right here....
