| I have the Nexus 7 with BCN Pro in front of me and I have 2 issues (possibly more) that I can't seem to solve! How do you add maps and when I push the button that I understand is supposed to center my location on the screen nothing happens. I know the gps in the N7 is working because I see it on google maps…..Anyone got a clue? I have a Mac computer if that makes any difference |

| OK, got the gps working. Looks like it had something to do with a software update. Still lost at loading maps! |

| Have you downloaded my files in the download at the beginning of this thread, it also has instructions on installing. They are GPX tracks. They will show on top of what ever base map you have selected.
On my Nexus 7 you press on the file folder at the top and from their choose the GPX tracks you want to show. On mine you select "Switch to another database" and select "WV ATV Trails 2013"
To select the background map you press on the Layers (looks like 3 sheets of paper) at the top of your Nexus. Then press "More Map Sources" and select a map. I like the Worldwide Open Street and Open Cycle maps the best. To cache (download) a map for when you don't have cell service press "Select areas for download". Touch you finger on the screen and drag a rectangle and then press "download" at the top of the screen.
If you still have problems let me know and I will give you my phone number.

| The instructions would not work on my Mac computer. I think that might be my main issue. I will need to get my hands on a Windows machine to get the instructions. I'll try again after posting this just to be sure…. Didn't work, needs Windows. Android can't open it either! |

| Well, that was fun. I needed this program to be able to move the files around because I have a Mc computer. Once I got that program and your instructions, it was pretty easy. Bob, once again you have saved the day! Thank you! |

Hey Bobby, I'm a Mac and Apple guy will your maps work on an app for them? | |

| Moth, the files mentioned above are only available for Droid. However the Apple guys like and App called Motion-X and I think it will accept my original GPX files. I think you will lose the color coding and dashing however. You can download the original GPX files at the link below. It is a big file, 19M. You can go to Garmin's website and download a free version of Basecamp for Mac. When you go to GpsFileDepot and go to my map you will see that I have made a Mac Version also. If nothing else you can view them on your Mac.
