[Why can I buy an OS map for my iPhone but not Oregon?]

Walking from home to within a 20 mile radius. Public footpaths, bridleways etc

Thanks for your help,

[Why can I buy an OS map for my iPhone but not Oregon?]

You did mention you wanted a "local" map. What locality? What's the intended usage?

 

I want the same Ordnance survey map on my Oregon that I have on my iPhone and also the same as the paper map I carry in my backpack. Surely it shouldn't be so difficult

[Why can I buy an OS map for my iPhone but not Oregon?]

I thought the topo info in the GB Discoverer series was drawn from the Ordnance Survey maps (though the street detail is Navteq):

Edit: Okay, I see what you mean. Those are only 1:50K scale -- and pretty expensive, too.

 

And they don't cover all regions.

[Why can I buy an OS map for my iPhone but not Oregon?]

Os IS Open Street and is ALWAYS FREE,

??? Ordnance Survey, Free?

[Why can I buy an OS map for my iPhone but not Oregon?]

I want a local OS 1:25k map to use with my Oregon but non on Garmin's site cover it.

However for £19.99 I can get any OS map and use it on my iPhone.

 

Why is that????? My Oregon is an expensive paperweight at the moment.

 

And how can I plan on my computer if I can't copy my Garmin SD maps onto it. Where as I can with the iPhone?

[Garmin 300, custom maps and a Mac]

I purchased a digital OS Map 1:25k for my Mac and iPhone link I would love to install it on my Garmin 300. How do you add custom maps if your a Mac user?

and you can view the same OS map on your Mac using Routebuddy for free too.

[iPhone, RouteBuddy Atlas and OS Maps]

I downloaded Routebuddy Atlas (free from the App Store)

then purchased an OS 1:25k map from their online store £19.99. It works so much better than my Garmin Oregon I'm thinking about selling it on eBay.

They've been £65 at Field & Trek for many months.

Thanks, I have an Oregon 300 with TOPO and a GB Discoverer card. It shut down four times on my last outing. I will disable TOPO next time.

[Plan route on Computer then transfer to Oregon]

My Oregon has OS maps installed, but planning a route on it is very fiddly. My BaseCamp software has TOPO maps installed but, they don't show enough detail to route plan. Why can't I install my OS Discoverer maps into Base camp? What is the alternative?

[Garmin GPX routes and tracks to download for UK Lakes District]

Looking for some routes / tracks in the Lake District to download. Could anyone recommend a site? I see there are plenty for Memory Maps but I use an Oregon and BaseCamp.

[Garmin GB Discoverer]

I can confirm after buying two Gb Discoverer maps that they are just Sandisk cards with no Garmin logo's.

Its gone a little quiet on the updates front.

[GPS enabled Cameras]

Fire Medic, I think I can help you out with this. Actually the way I found out about GeoCaching was because I was looking into Geotagging and kept running into the term Geocache. On a mac there's a free program GPSPhotoLinker that will take your recorded track from your GPS and will automatically place the tags on the photo based on the time stamp. I hope this isn't confusing, but basically you record your track on your GPS, and export it to a GPX file. From there you pull the GPX file and your pictures into the program and it will place the coordinates based on time stamps. You just need to make sure the time is accurately set on your camera. I hope this helps, it is a really easy to use program.

Thanks, GPSPhotoLinker is just what I needed.

Tested it with my Oregon & Canon ixus and it worked as advertised.

[GPS Camera or Oregon & non-GPS camera. iPhoto 09]

I dont have a GPS camera, but I would like to use the location feature of iPhoto.

I do however have a Garmin Oregon and a non-GPS Canon camera and a Sony TG-3 Handycam. I read on this site about a piece of software for Mac that would combine the two. Could anyone help me find it please?

[Backup Garmin Discoverer SD Card]

I feel very nervous using my Oregon with a Discoverer SD card installed without a backup copy.

Can anybody advise anyway similar?

[Sca Fell Pub Pil S1537 G]

Excuse me if its a stupid question.

 

What does Sca Fell Pub Pil S1537 G mean?

[Garmin GB Discoverer]

It doesn't work if you copy the contents of the Discoverer (Sandisk 1GB) MicroSD card onto another, the Oregon says "unable to unlock maps." when loaded.

I guess I must have added the extra POI's myself and forgotten about.
