[Az-Geocaching] AZ Topo Maps

[Brian Casteel]

All you need to do is choose the new mapsets you wish to download to 
your Garmin unit within Mapsource, and it will wipe out what you 
currently have installed, and install the new mapset(s).  It would be 
the same if you were running multiple mapsets such as City Select and 
Topo, to be able to switch between.
