[Roadster] blank maps

[Barry Gould]

Hi, The 2004 Tiger data works better.

However, I still do not see anything in the map window.
(California & Nevada are white, Mass. is Pink)

Do I need to install GLITZ?

I assume I don't have to have a GPS hooked up to try out Roadster... is 
this right?

Thanks,
Barry
