map transfer issues with eTrex Legend

[hodgeheg]

I know it's (very) old, but I'd like to try to get my eTrex Legend working as a backup GPS on an upcoming trip.

I'm having problems loading Topo Maps from the old Topo Canada CDs on my Garmin eTrex Legend (the blue one with the monochrome display.) I'm using a USB to Serial converter cable, and the computer sees the device and both devices acknowledge the transfer, but after transferring the map regions (I've tried this with Basecamp & Mapsource), the eTrex Legend says "no map" and there's nothing loaded. Waypoints, tracks routes, etc... *do* transfer, so that seems like it would rule out any connection issues. So I'm stumped as to why the maps aren't showing up. I have tried only transferring a single map region, although all my transfers have been under 8mb.

Any ideas would be appreciated!
