Repositioning of GPS maps

I've a Garmin GPSMAP 60CS. Using City Select North America V6 the map points are consistent with the GPS unit. I also use Mapsource United States Topo V3.02 and find the topigraphical maps to be offset up to 200'. This is a bit strange when using the GPS to follow a trail and its leading you through the woods 200' off to the side parallel to the trail. If anyone is familiar with the Garmin units do you know if it is possible to reposition the map to the GPS?

Check the datum for the map and make sure the datum selected on the 60CS is the same. You can access the datum selection through the main menu and selecting unit settings. Datum selection is the second selection.

Jim, Thanks for the suggestion. All were set to WSG84. I've sent a note to Garmin regarding this.
