Well, without a general idea of your geographic location and suggestions
would pretty much be shooting from the hip. The world is an awfully big

Well, your gps receiver should be able to show longitude/latidude of
your present location.

At the edges of your map you should find data to longitude/latidude.
Imagine a virtual grid and find the corresponding place on the map:
that's your location ((ok, you won't be successful if you're living
in France and trying to find your location on a map of Italy ...).

ok - it looks like you are in France -
and here are some links for folks not familiar with your setup -

SO - the real question is,
if you want a topo map,
then what is the process for obtaining/purchasing the Topo map image
and loading it on your Garmin Mobile PC setup ?
