They have a Canadian presence. His name is Marcel Bouchard. His website is http://amb-inc.com/fr/accueil/ However, in typical Garmin style, there is no phone number where you can reach a human being. Marcel Bouchard 35 Principale Pierreville, Québec J0G 1J0 Téléphone/Fax : 450.568.2736

Fugawi can not load waypoints in a Garmin unit ? Did you try one of those freeware: G7toWin and GPSBabel ? I thin they open Fugawi files and translate them in a Garmin file .gdb and the use MapSource.

coureur des bois replied to coureur des bois's topic in GPS technology and devices
Thank You PDOP's -
I own all SoftMap Maps and Software I could buy. Yesterday, I installed the Fugawi Navigation Software (demo version).

I tried to open Maps from SoftMaps but got the message «classe non enregistrée» (unregistred class). I just want to know if somebody have succes in openins Maps from SoftMaps before to buy this software. Thanks.

Mapping Compatability
coureur des bois replied to Clan Riffster's topic in GPS technology and devices
Hi ! Your project is interesting ! A little free program calles GPSBabel can translate tracks from garmin .gdb (from MapSource) to Microsoft Streets and Trips (2002-2005). You just have to bike on your trails, enable TraceLogs, transfer your tracks on MapSource and save it in .gdb format. Then open GPSBabel and convert it for MSS GPSBabel.org Have a pleasant work ! -
Did you try the Excel Spreadsheet called WaypointWorkbench ? It is for comverting such points in various systems. Avalaible here: Keen People page WaypointWorkbench link

Hi ! You could buy two or three set of topo Maps for Canada: From Garmin, Topo Canada (you can load your GPS with those maps) SoftMaps sell Topo maps at scale 1: 50 000 for all Canada and 1: 20 000 for Quebec SoftMap You cannot load your GPS with Softmap's, but you can load waypoints, tracks and routes.

NORMAL, MORE OFTEN, MOST OFTEN ... this specify what you choose in the settings they are related to what you choose (distance or time) If you don't chose, the GPS choose from some algorithm fixed by programmers (AUTO) NORMAL, MORE OFTEN, MOST OFTEN fix the frequency, determined by the distance or by the duration -
Try this: GPScity

I did not see anything ! Did you try for Softmap ? They got maps at 1: 50 000 of Ontario. May be they traced trails !
