NOTE: The maps are higher resolution in the GPS than what you see in Mapsource.  On older GPSs, like the Vista, they may draw a bit slowly.  On newer units, like the 60CS, they redraw nicely.   More detail has more stuff to draw.

	Also Corrected one trail that was left on level 0 and should have 
	been on level 3 on the Curiosity Creek Preserve.

4-28-04	Released this map set

I have decided to combine my maps into one set to reduce the number of registry changes that are needed.  A nice side effict of this change is that adding additional maps to this set requite no additional registry changes, just copy the new files over the old ones.

While this set contains many maps, each map is individually selectable so you only need to load the data that you want.

This map set covers:

	Weeki Wachee Preserve
	Homosassa River
	Balm-Boyette Preserve
	Curiosity Creek Preserve
	Egmont Key Preserve
	Withlacoochee River County Park
	Alafia River State Park
	Weeden Island Park
	Boyd Hill Park
	Chassahowitzka River

The water levels in the preserves may change by many feet, especially after a heavy rain.

Standard Disclaimer...

You and you alone are fully responsible for any changes made to your computer and/or GPS as a result of installing or using this software and/or map set.   Although it works well for me and is really straight forward to get going, if you are not comfortable with the instructions below get help or do not do it.

--------- Here's the steps to get it working ----------

(If you are updating your maps just drag the contents of "Fla Parks" into your "Fla Parks" folder and you'er done.  Make sure that MapSource is closed first. )

Make sure that Mapsource is installed and not running.

Open the wwp.reg file in a TEXT EDITOR and change the path to where your Mapsource.exe program is installed.  (Right Mouse Click-->EDIT)

The file comes to you looking like this:

	REGEDIT4

	[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Products\255]
	"Loc"="C:\\Program Files\\Garmin\\MapSource\\Fla Parks\\"
	"Bmap"="C:\\Program Files\\Garmin\\MapSource\\Fla Parks\\allens.img"
	"Tdb"="C:\\Program Files\\Garmin\\MapSource\\Fla Parks\\allens.tdb"


So if your Mapsource program is installed in the 'D:\Maps\Garmin' dir, change it to this (remember to keep the double back slashes):

	REGEDIT4

	[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Products\255]
	"Loc"="D:\\Maps\\Garmin\\Fla Parks\\"
	"Bmap"="D:\\Maps\\Garmin\\Fla Parks\\allens.img"
	"Tdb"="D:\\Maps\\Garmin\\Fla Parks\\allens.tdb"


Once that's finished save it, double click in it and the registry keys will be installed.

Next, create a 'Fla Parks' directory that contains the MapSource.Exe program.

Finally, copy the files ending with '.TDB' and '.img' to the 'Fla Parks' directory.  Do NOT rename them.  If you have already installed some of my maps as individually these will over wite them and both sets will work.

You are ready to start Mapsource and "Allen's Maps" should be one of your map sets.

If you start up Mapsource and get a Fatal Error don't panic.  It's because the path in your registry file was not pointing at the map files.  Edit the icsouth.reg file with the correct path and re-run it to correct the registry.

NOTE: All of my map sets may be installed in the same directory without conflict.

Enjoy!
