Hello Geocachers ,
I recently upgraded to Premium Membership in the site, bought myself a Garmin 550t and been having a blast with this hobby. So I started adventuring a bit with GPS maps as well.
I'm new to GPS maps. I have always used whatever it came with it. But recently I have tried downloading some free GPS maps online in some websites, some were saved in BIN formats, some in IMG formats, I am not sure how to load them, so my questions would be the following for anyone with experience on this:
1. What formats are compatible with my Garmin 550t?
2. Where am I suppose to put the maps (my guess was in the ExtData folder there is 2 bin files)?
3. Will it work to have more than one map at the same time? (I heard you could only use one at a time).
4. Finally, I was able to get some very detailed maps in a cartography office but they come in DWG format, is there a way to make it work on my GPS?
Thanks a lot in advance. This will help me a lot!
NOTE: I tried using search, Google, and the Owner's Manual Cd, but I could not find my answers.
