I second the motion.............or question. I love my 60CSx, you'll have to pry it from my cold dead fingers. Please don't make me buy a another one

Thanks RWS for your help. I am attemping to email you the file now, but I am supposing that I should process each unit separately as supposed to the whole state at once. Also I am still trying to learn how to use GenTYP, and noticed you had a tutorial on another posting but it is no longer available. Would you still have that laying around somewhere?

I must not have my settings right in Mapedit because it take a good portion of the day to process the map and then Gentyp gives me a "Max 32x32 xpm bitmaps with 2 colors" error. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Here is a link to Idaho's Game Management Unit shape file. Can anyone help me figure out how to get it on my GPSMap60CSx? http://www.insideidaho.org/asp/GeoData.asp...rch=&page=2

Thanks vespax, I will give those a shot and see what I come up with.

Or use some decent GIS software to view your whole project with multiple layers. Any recomendations

I am working on the Sawtooth NRA, full of hiking trails and steep terrain. I am doing this with tiles because the whole area on one file is much too large to process. Currently it is difficult to tell what areas I am actually covering because in Mapsource when I am looking at the maps I created, all I see are the elevation lines. If there is a way I can view the Topo map as well, as a refference, it would be a lot easier for me to tell what areas I still need to add to get the coverage I want. Hope this is a little more clear about what I am looking for and I apologise for the confusion.

I bought mine from http://rei.com/, absolutely NOT the cheapest, but if you are a member and anything goes wrong, and I mean ANYTHING. Just return it for another. Their service cannot be beat.

I have S&T but it cannot find my 76CX? I installed a usb driver from Garmin site but it still cannot find the gps. What/where is the free Garmin software that would allow me to use the USB port to track position on S&T? Thanks The free software you are looking for from Garmin is called Spanner, not sure of the link but I am sure you can find it on another post. If you find it and are able to make it work great, your the man!! But if not then my suggestion to you is to use GPSGate, http://franson.com/gpsgate/, it is cheap and works great. There is a 14 day trial period before you buy, should give you plenty of time to try it out.

I got it to work with Firefox in the last few days, since my last post I have made 3 maps. I think I am addicted My next question is, is there any way to transpose the maps I create over Topo-West for example, like it does on the GPSr? Exocet, thanks for the link but I am surprised that there is nothing for Idaho yet. That may be something I can fix.

Just to add my own two cents, I have a 60CSx and tried Spanner but I was unable to make it work for me. Then on another post someone suggested GPSGate, http://franson.com/gpsgate/. Not free but at least it is affordable and it does a fantastic job. Leave it on for Streets & Trips and turn it off for TOPO! 4.0, Google Earth, and of course MapSource. Hope this helps and happy GPSing!!

I tried with IE7 and you are right, it did absolutely nothing. I then tried IE6 and Firefox. With those I was at least able to download a file but the .tif file needed was missing. This is the first time ever trying this so I know I have a lot to learn, I just can't wait to see what it looks like on my Garmin .

I am trying to make my own maps for my GPSMap 60CSx using this website, http://cypherman1.googlepages.com/Creating...hMapSetTool.pdf, and http://seamless.usgs.gov seems to be out to lunch, to put it mildly. Are there any other sources of data that I can use to make my own hi res maps?
