    Free Maps for Garmin GPS

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    I tried to download the above new version and received this message:

    404 Not Found

    The requested URL /ibycususa/IbycusUSA.exe) does not exist.

     

    What am I doing wrong?

     

    Ron... :blink:

     

    Copy the link, make sure the ) isnt on the end of it. That's whats messing it up, and I had that problem too but that's a quick and easy fix.

     

    Thanks for the easy fix. I guess I need new glasses!

     

    Ron. :(

    Making Custom Topo Maps w/ MapSetToolKit, Rev 3

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    Cypherman has revised his MapSetToolKit to v1.15 making it even easier to use now. The entire Step-by-Step Instructions for making Custom Topo Maps, Rev. 3, has never been easier. Most anyone should now be able to make Custom Topo Maps.

     

    Cypherman has a new revision for MapSetToolKit v1.17a on his web site. This new version has a new option of "Blank overview maps". What does this option do?

    The instructions can be printed in PDF from Cypherman's website: http://cypherman1.googlepages.com/Creating...hMapSetTool.pdf

     

    Thanks eaparks, I used your link to download Cypherman's instructions for making custom topo maps. Using these instructions, I completed a custom map of our hunting area in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The elevation details are vastly superior to Garmin's Topo East. I did make the map transparent per your suggestion and am curious on how it will display on my Garmin 76C. The custom map looks great in MapSource. ( No water data was included.)

     

    I did run into a problem trying to download the water data from http://nhdgeo.usgs.gov/viewer.htm

    Even with my pop up blocker and spam disabled, the web site is sluggish and several of the function buttons, such as Print and Help on how to extract don't seem to work. When I tried to extract NHD High Res data per cypherman's printed instruction, the polygon extraction tool did not bring up a NHD Geodatabase Extract, the page simple redrew and nothing happened. Where am I going wrong? ( I have a high speed cable ISP ).

     

    Any suggestions and comments would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks,

    Ron

    Delorme GPS PN-20

    Nice impression. I had the same feeling towards the buttons. At first i didn't like them, but after getting used to them (and using them with gloves on!) I really like the buttons on the PN-20 better than those on the Garmin devices I've been using. Here is what I wrote for a DeLorme PN-20 review in case anyone wants to have a look.

     

    In your excellent review of the PN-20 you list the screen size as 2.2 inches. I assume that is the diagonal measurement of the screen. For a better comparison to my Garmin 76C, can you give me the screen dimensions in Height x Width.

    Thanks,

    Ron
