Your Garmin should load when you power it up, and will take about 5min. When loaded you will start seeing topo and road numbers or names. I have see blank cards get sent by accident and in very rare cases a Garmin not load the card at all. If it doesn't load it has to go back to the manufacture

You have to set the map detail int he settings tab. I use the "most" setting.

I installed my card and had to call distributor ( lion country supply ) they helped me out. But the instructions have alot to be desired and are not user friendly. But I do like mine.
