Keystone Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Maybe if you told us what kind of GPS receiver you're trying to load maps onto, you'd get a response. Are you looking for freebie maps or software that you pay for? I am moving your thread from the Geocaching Topics forum to the GPS Units and Software forum. You're more likely to get an answer there.

If you have a Garmin you can created your own basemaps using this site: http://home.cinci.rr.com/creek/garmin.htm Keep in mind however, that the maps you create will only be as good as the GIS data files available in your area. If you're in the U.S. most states have central GIS data repositories where you can download free shapefiles. However, if you're in Europe good (free) local road level GIS data is very hard to find.
