I have a HDS 7 Gen 3 and have worked with RM1 a long time. I use osm- map and maps from RM1 at the same time and I can see both. Now when I make my maps in RM2 I can't see the OSM- map no more. Seems like there is no transparancy in RM2 map. Am I doing something wrong? Please help me so I can manage this.

In the unit or within RM? How are you exporting the map from RM?

Hello Matt
I can't see it In my unit. I export in the same way as I did in RM1. I choose "Export map project" and put it on my HD then I transfer it to a microcard and put in my unit. There I have OSM on another card and can see it, but when I choose my map from RM2 the OSM disappear. OSM is in file format "at5". I also can have OSM on the same card but I understand thats no differece. What am doing wrong? I have tried to to put OSM in the mapfile. It works but I did not like the layout on that OSM file and itt took me hors to get the file ready....

Are you using the "Project based naming" option when you export from RM2? This will give you a map that you can select by name in the unit, but the result is that this is the only map that will be shown. If you un-check this option then your map will appear under "Lowrance" in the unit, and other maps (without specific names) should also be shown. It's also possible that your map is obscuring the OSM map - do you have a large "land" layer? You could try turning this off before export, since you wouldn't really need it with an OSM surround. Screen shots from the unit - how you are selecting the map for display, and what you can see - would be useful.
