City Select 6 - the upgrade didn't take

[toolbear]

After installing NA City Select 6 upgrade, I' thinking about removing it. It has a few problems. I could have spent the $75 on something more useful.

The list of cities for Washington State stop at Eatonville. Forget Seattle, Spokane, Yakima, etc. This makes routefinding and address finding difficult.

There is a duplicate list of maps on the list on the install screen. Duplicate names and different sizes. When I try a marquee select for a state, this doubles the storage requirements.

Any suggestions?

Did you clear the selection for map tiles from CS 5, prior to start including tiles from CS 6?
From your description I'm not sure you did. Notice that the program remembers your previous selection, even if you add a new map product.

No, you are right. Didn't clear a thing. Just started installing.

How does one clear the titles? Select and delete on the install screen?

I reformat the card the maps are stored on.

Yes.

In Mapinstall, select the top item in the list to the right, hold shift and then select the bottom item. Press Delete. That removes all old map selections (CS 5). Now make sure CS 6 is selected in the map product selection box, before you start adding new maps.

Mapsource supports the Ctrl-A command for Select all, so there it's even easier.

Formatting the card shouldn't make any difference, since the new map file will overwrite the previous one.

@@ Many thanks!
I did as you recommended and it's working fine. Can even find Seattle.
Better tech support here than from Garmin.
