-Oz- Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 don't know if there's a way to convert (doubt it), but these are great for garmins: http://rwsmaps.griffel.se/ Quote Link to comment
+alanfreed Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I don't know whether there are maps available or not... but I have definitely enjoyed having the GPS along for cruises! Just having the basemap will be good enough to be able to get a good idea how far you are from land and so forth. And you can normally find coordinates for various ports of call that you can enter ahead of time... it's fun to be able to see where you are in relation to the next port. And naturally, I'd do a bunch of pocket queries to load up all the caches at each port! Quote Link to comment

I'd load my GPSr up with coordinates, dadgum the maps, full speed ahead! Seriously, I went to St. Thomas last year with my Garmin eTrex Legend. Loaded it up with coordinates for all of the USVI. Base maps kind of sucked and would occasionally show me in the water when I was on the land, or vice versa. All I needed was to know which way to the cache! JohnTee Quote Link to comment
+simonduz Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 Thanks to all for the motivation, the GPS is comming with me. LOL In the mean time I have 23 days to grab some interesting coordinates from http://wikimapia.org/ Still looking for some maps though.. will post if I find some. Quote Link to comment
