Screenshots

This KMZ map is set to Draw Order 32 so it will show 'beneath' your primary map on your Garmin KMZ-compatible GPS.

Note that due to the wide coverage area of this map, it is actually 4 tiles. Keep that in mind when placing this on your Garmin GPS - even though this is one KMZ, the number of tiles is limited to 100 across all the KMZ files loaded on most Garmin GPS receivers (500 if you have a Garmin Montana).

All of the images below are from a Garmin GPSMAP 78sc.

The image on the left in both rows is with no other maps displayed. The image on the right in both rows is with the Garmin 24K NE series TOPO map displayed.
