Thanks savant9 but unfortunately, the link you provided only changes the avatar for this Groundspeak forum. Hmmm, It's the same as the forum avatar. Log out and when you log back in it will change on the homepage.

Um... wow. Ok then, thanks for the link. Amazing what's available;}

It would be worth your time to visit here for routing maps: http://sites.google.com/site/talkytoasteruk/ukmaps As I said in another thread, I have asked several times for people to correct me each time I say you must buy routable maps, no one, not a single (what I'd consider) pro has come forward and said those free maps will route. I see where you said contours meant routing, I think it might actually mean those lines that show altitude gain/loss. If anyone has knowledge as to the meaning of contours in this context, please share and help with this question! THANKS!! Contours means contour lines, routing means sat nav road routing. Those free maps have both. Just like a PN-20/30/40 can have both. I have replied to that other thread.

Then I owe you an apology, as maybe I took it the wrong way. Those maps are Routable, and have contour lines just like any TOPO map. They also are free and legal. Just trying to help out the OP

Aren't some of these free maps for the UK auto-routing?http://sites.google.com/site/talkytoasteruk/ukmaps Just saying... I've yet to have anyone tell me differently and I've asked often. So, as far as I know, and PLEASE, if you know differently say so, these maps will NOT route you, you must buy those maps! Just saying... I'd be happy to translate from British to Michigander for you then... British: FREE UK Maps Home Michigander: FREE UK Maps Home British: GB or Ireland Map with Contours (Routable) Michigander: GB or Ireland Map with Contours (Routable) Why mock me when you could just as easily click on the link and educate yourself? Just saying...

Sure it can. But raster mapping is so 1990s.... Glad to know that my GPSMAP 76CSx isn't broken displaying those sort of images.

http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ will also do a very nice job. To the OP: I'm not sure all the posters here are trying to help you with your present GPS, seems like a couple are recommending you go out and buy a new GPS which isn't necessary at all.

I was reading about how to do that on this forum:http://forums.gpsfiledepot.com/index.php

Hi, it's rather common in these parts to place rocks like that, sorry that doesn't make it illegal.

Couldn't get the ones I downloaded from them to download to the GPS or to open in BaseCamp. According to Garmin's site, the maps need to have DEM embedded in them to be used with Basecamp, that's why custom maps or even City Navigator doesn't work with Basecamp. Try Garmin's RoadTrip on your Mac and it should work fine with the gpsfiledepot maps.

From what I have read you are most likely making the best choice. Good luck and let us know how it went.

Hard to go wrong for $50.

The D means that the unit is applying correction from the WAAS signal. WAAS is sent by the upper numbered sats, most likely the highest number sat displayed. for the US, they are numbered 48 & 51. The GPSMAP 76S adds a built-in electronic compass, the GPSMAP76Cx uses the difference in location to get a bearing and needs to be moving to work right.

This is an interesting topic. Hope to hear more....

wouldn't ya just need the 'over' OR the '+' ?....just sayin'. I would think one or the other would be fine. Maybe he used his "7 minute rule" while editing his profile? In any case this is a cat that knows the tools to find a cache. just saying......

That's a lot of found caches. I would think you know what you're talking about. just saying....

Hope it helped

I can use my GPSMAP 76CSx for this by saving having the unit automaticly save the track logs to my datacard. I use GPicSync to sync them up to my photos. Works on a Macintosh or PC. YMMV, just saying....

Have to set the GPS interface setting to "GARMIN" on the GPS?

You should see my striped tie and plaid jacket. Got a picture you can post? Just saying.....

Yes, I think they call that the MOB (man over board) function. Fast and easy way to mark a waypoint.

That's what I thought, thanks for clearing that up.
