Maps in memory
I have downloaded two maps,each having a different name with different amounts of memory. When I go to "Open existing file" regardless of which map I try to open, I get the same one, and only one. I have moved them to different folders and tried that with the same result. They both appear in the folder as the separately named maps. If I go to the folder thru File explorer, rathger than starting the Back Country program, and double click on them, I still get one and only one map. HELP! Thanms >:( :(

How are you determining that it is the same one? Because it has images that are the same? Is it possible that both maps cover a certain area, and both are centered on that? Yes, they probably have different data but some of it may be the same.
Here's one tidbit that sometimes cause confusion.
You name the file - then download maps into it.
Not: download maps, then name the file.
If it's done backwards, it sometimes creates confusion about which data is in which file.
Cant be the same or neareby areas. One is in Illinois, the other in Colorado.
There is no restriction in BCN that says maps have to be contiguous. One file can have data from Illinois *AND* data from Colorado. I'm pretty sure at least one of them does.
What do you see when you open them?
I'd reccomend using the place find button to add some Colorado and Illinois places to the map.
Both locations were thru the place find button, one Durango Colorado, the other a particular forested area in Illinois.
And which one do you see when you open the map?
I'm not saying download more maps. I mean add some *places*.

Let's say you open Colorado.db3 and you see a map of Illinois. Push the find button, find Durango Colorado, slect it, and press OK.
Or maybe you open Illinois.db3 and you see a map of Colorado. Push the find button, find a point in the target area in Colorado, and press OK.
I'm just trying to help you find data that is probably there.
