Wow, they have Ogmore in it, 153km North of Rockhampton.........i didn't think many people knew about that place 8) mm My dad lived at the railway station at Kooltandra just down the line a bit from Ogmore. He and his brothers used to run the film reels between Ogmore and somewhere else by motorbik...

Background: I'm quite keen on the Tracks4Australia project, however the free version does not have searchable towns. Solution: I've produced a transparent Garmin MapSource map that can either be used on it's own on top of the GPS' basemap, or loaded at the same time as the T4A maps. Provides searchi...

I've never used GPS TrackMaker so I can't help you out. A program called GPSMapEdit will open the IMG files and allow you to save in the OziExplorer format (.map) Dooghan Stilling having problems trying to see contours in GPS Track Macker..Can any one help. It's a non-trivial exercise to move from ...

Love to be able to see T4A on GPS TrakerMaker any suggestions TrackMaker can't directly open the .img files. It is possible to use a program called MapDekode to convert the T4A maps into .dbx files which TrackMaker can open, but you would have to do it for each individual map and it's not always a ...

Trackmaker has downloadable maps which cover Australia at 1:1,000,000 approx. There is a link to the maps on the left hand pane of their website

Hi, yes it's prety easy to put POI into a Garmin map .img My suggested method would be to use a utility called GPX2SHP http://gpx2shp.sourceforge.jp/ This takes a gpx file and outputs a .shp file which can then be fed into GPSMapedit (&cgpsmapper) or GPSTrackmaker (&Mapdekode) Both of these programs...

Easy GPS is also quite good for waypoints

I've done a NZ mapset release for TrackMaker (similar to Ozi, and free as well) Data is from the NZ Open GPS Maps project

I did a quick write up of a Legend back to back with a GPS Map 60 http://www.gps.org.nz/content/view/69/45/ Summary: Legend: Pros: - * 1,000 waypoints (more than my 60) * Great screen with fine detail * Light * Cost – big bang for the buck! Cons: - * 8mb for mapping * Slow serial uploading * Int...

You could try img2gps which is a front end for SendMap - it has 'map sets' which you can load and save to file for ease of use grouping different maps together. (it doesn't save the maps, just a list of the maps)

Reading about the Track and Waypoint manager it would appear that this software does not support map uploading. I already have the custom img maps , I would like to try to uploading them using the Garmin software rather the method I usually use. It does support map uploading - it just says it cant ...

G7toWin could be worth a try as well, it handles CSV and can communicate with Magellan.

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...

Very fast answer!

Thanks for that - I'll change it in my profile as well.
