 		 Just install mapsend topo canada under Vista. It won't load but dont care to much. Install Mapsend lite v2 free. The v2 version can load any other mapsend map already installed. You get a single interface for all your mapsend maps whenever topo, topo 3D or other kind. On topo map, mapsend lite offer 3D view and profile. Not much is missing from the original mapsend topo Canada software.

 		 Try the Program Compatibility Wizard in Vista. First, completely uninstall all Mapsend products. Reboot. Then go to http://www.magellangps.com/support/faqdetail.asp? faqid=470&prodid=1223 and following the instructions. Don't worry about the way you screen looks during the process. It should work - it did on my Toshiba laptop and eXplorist 500. If not just reverse the steps and kick yourself for not reading teh box.

 		 Some things are great - others not so much. I have a Sportrak Pro, and run Mapsend Topo on a XP with SP3. No problem getting everything I want out of the system. Having to load the CD is a pain in the butt, as it runs slow, but it does get the job done. However, when I tried to load the program into my Vista laptop - no luck.The install won't load some drivers. I see from the other posts I am not alone here. I use Magellan's Canada S&D program for streets and built-up areas. That program loaded into Vista OK. I do a lot of sea-kayak guiding and the Sportrak takes a bit of a beating and dunking. My problem with customer support was dealing with some water leakage in what is suppose to be a waterproof unit (it's not). I contacted Magellan by email, and it took about two weeks for them to get back to me. The best Magellan could do was to offer a discount on a newer unit. So - seeing as the warranty was gone anyway, I opened the GPS, found the damage, fixed it, sealed and closed the unit, and off I go. It's been working fine for months now. I guess my biggest complaint is how quickly Magellan drops suppport on their less-than-brand-new units.

 		 I rated it a 4 because when it works, it works pretty well. Unfortunately, like the rest of you, I bought a new Dell with XP-pro loaded. The only way I can get MapSend to install and run is with a clean boot. And, once it's installed, you can get it to run (most of the time), by putting it in your 'Start Up'... that way it 'runs' at start-up (duh)before all the USB ports?? fire up and kill it. But then just try to turn it off and back on sorry: "This program is already running" ....try the three-fingered salute "Ctl-Alt- Delete"..and kill it yourself.. just my 2¢, Like I said, I use it All the Time great bunch of maps...

 		 I bought the MapSend Topo Canada for my SportTrak Color Hand held GPS.I was running X.P and later had to buy a new computer which came pre-loaded with Vista. I tried to load my MapSend software on my new computer and the software won,t work. I called Magellan ,and was told I had to buy X.P that Vista will not work. Why should I have to spend another $200.00 to buy X.P when they should be the ones to provide some sort of patch ! Very Very Poor Service! Service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
