This is something I would like to use, but I have to get my head around how to do it all first.
Thanks for posting it on here Robert. _________________ Let me know if I say anything that offends you

I have an Oregon 200 with Firmware 3.20 (I think). I created a custom map last night and it was a very painless process. It took about an hour from reading about it to getting it on to my GPSr. I used the step by step guide here -

The hardest part was georeferencing the image. (The image in question was a screen capture of 1:50000 OS map from Quo v2 around Ben Cleuch. I probably spent more time tweaking the map to get it right. Although interestingly enough the OS map does not fit perfectly on top of Google Earth, but it is fairly close. If I can figure out how to do screenshots, I'll place one here.
Cheers ayr_lad
I use the TalkyToaster maps as well and this is a useful additional, although is limited to small areas. |
