+oisact Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I have maps I've custom-made that I use with my Garmin eTrex Venture (hydrology, contour, land-cover, etc). Are they compatible with the Nuvi? Does it also use Mapsource? Wal-mart has the Nuvi 200 on sale tomorrow (black Friday) for $99, and I'm considering grabbing one for the car. Quote Link to comment
MtnHermit Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Indeed yes. Here's one of Above the Timber's custom maps on my Nuvi 205W. Best I can tell the Garmin mapping language is universal across all platforms. Quote Link to comment

Yes but will it work on the trail can we load way points into it to locate caches? Dose anyone know? Quote Link to comment
+BirdingBetsy Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I am also interested in purchasing a gps for my car and have been looking at the garmin nuvi or tom toms. Can I add waypoints to these or just street adresses. Definitely would help finding parking much quicker and easier. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment
+Redwoods Mtn Biker Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Yes, you can add waypoints, but keep in mind that there is no compass screen on most nuvis. Also, a quick look through this forum will turn up a couple of nuvi geocaching macros. Quote Link to comment
