Making map tracks for Garmin GPS
Yayyyyyyy!!!!
I've found the Holy Grail. At last I've worked out how to put my MTB trails onto maps that are viewable in Mapsource and on my Garmin GPS. Programs needed are mapedit.exe MapSetToolKit.exe cGPSmapper (runs within MapSetToolKit) The maps you make can be uploaded to your GPS using Mapsource. I made mine transparent so they can be seen overlaid on your normal maps. Good free maps are ShonkyMaps and Tracks4Australia. Dorf |

Garmin GPS units can show tracks. -- |
