Hey all, It would be great to make an up to date collection of map resources for the Boundary Waters Canoe Wilderness Area. I'm planning a trip in September and would like as many maps, especially ones with POIs that I can get my hands on! Please post what you have here or help put me in the right direction. Thanks for any help. -------------------------------------------------- Maps/Resources: BWCA Campsites & Portages Map: http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/view/219/ Minnesota Topo Map: http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/view/153/ My Trails: http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/view/53/ Awesome Compilation: http://w3.cs.jmu.edu/arch/hobbies/camp/maps/bwca/

Hey all, I'm looking for any and all maps of Ethiopia. I got 3 off of gpsfiledepot, but they were not that great (http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/country/et). I'm looking for more detail and if possible some POIs. Are there any other sites out there that I can search for maps? Or possibly does anyone have any to share? Thanks!

Hey Mysticus, If I'm not mistaken, I believe the Microsoft Surface (1,2, and 3) does not run the full version of Windows 8.1, but a limited one called, Windows RT 8.1. This limited version only allows certain apps to actually run on the system. However, if you were to purchase something like the Acer T100 tablet, this runs the full Windows 8.1 and will work just like a regular laptop. So...I highly doubt you will be able to run your eTrex 20 with it But maybe I'm wrong... Hope that helps.

Thanks mineral2 for your answers! I've been toying with my mac and my eTrex all day and think I've figured everything out thanks to your help and this forum. The more and more I toy with it, the more I like it better than the phone app. Thanks!

Hi y'all! I've been geocaching for the past year using the iphone app and absolutely love this new hobby! I recently cut my cell phone service all together so I purchased an eTrex 30 and an SD card. I've been reading the manual and all of the forum posts concerning it specifically and am getting very overwhelmed! gpx, gpsfiledepot, gsak, talkytoaster, packet queries, opencache, basecamp, etc. etc. I didn't have to think about or even know about any of these things!!! For right now all I want to do is set up my eTrex to mirror as closely as possible the awesome geocaching iphone app. How do I go about doing this? Help! A couple of specific additional questions: 1) When I download a new map, what folder should I put it in? 2) Anything that I download, can I just put it all into my SD card and will the eTrex automatically read it? Obviously I haven't downloaded anything into my GPSr yet...just a little scared of screwing something up...But I'm really excited to use this thing! Thanks for the help!
