If Mapsource US TOPO doesn't show up in Add/Remove
programs.............

First backup up your registry (System restore > Create a restore
point).
Open the registry and delete the following keys (one or all - depending
on what you originally installed):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Products\6
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Products\7
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Products\8
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Products\9

Close the registry editor and open Mapsource. TOPO sould be gone.
Any problems? - Restore your registry in System restore.

Using a file manager (Windows explorer), delete the folder:
C:\Program Files\Garmin\TopoUSA3 (if that is where they are installed)

Good luck,
Bob
