Another newbie question...(is there a wiki or FAQ for the knowledge built up in this thread?)
I've trawled through this thread but, I hope(!), I can bypass some of the problems earlier posters have had.
For background:
I have a PC running XP SP2
I have Mapsource plus Topo Canada
I have a Garmin Legend HCx
I want to upload some of the IBYCUS maps (specifically 092G area to start with) onto my GPS.
I *think* I have to first download the relevant IMG files and then copy them to my Mapsource directory (which, incidentally, is on my "D" drive). Is this correct?
Can I just download the IMG files I want from here (there's only about 14 tiles):
http://mapcenter.cgpsmapper.com/maplist.ph...092G&det=on ?
Once in Mapsource, I can then "select" the IBYCUS maps (as opposed to the TOPO Canada) and then use Mapsource to copy them over to the GPS. Is this correct?
Once on the GPS, how do I switch from TOPO Canada to IBYCUS?
I'm hoping to avoid the use of MapUpdate and/or MapUpdateBeta, or the other program required to install in directories other than c:\program files\topo...
(I guess one of the problems I may run into is not getting map updates - is this process automated at all?)
Thanks in advance
Oh, and a big thanks to IBYCUS/Dale for all the good work so far!
