Comparing maps in Garmin Legends..

Can someone post a photo of a Garmin Legend screen centered on say Mt. Lofty SA at 500m resolution.? (GC5466) Same again using the CD products would be nice. (I'm just trying to see how much detail comes with the standard Legend Maps as I've been making my own for the past year as my GPS is a USA.model.)

Uploaded image shows road (unlabled) , Heyson trail near Mt Lofty, a few creeks, vegetation (scrub in this case). Geocaches come on all GPS's so they don't count. Curious as to whether commercial maps show towers, fire spotter tower, car park and restaurant.

As an alternate to photographing the screen, have a look at http://www.garmin.com/support/agree.jsp?id=545 from Garmin for taking screen dumps or another alternative is G7ToWin (from
http://www.gpsinformation.org/ronh/g7towin.htm ) which can also capture screen dumps (albeit a bit slower than ximage). Both these work fine for the greyscale Legend.

Cheers,

I'll get to it - I've got mapsource and an australiana legend colour.

The basemaps on the australian legend were absoloutely woeful.

Well bugger me! Isn't xImage a clever little beastie?
