+jwlush Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I am thinking of upgrading from a Magellan Sportrak Pro (with no usb cable) to a Garmin 60cx. What kind of software program would I need in order to "draw out" a hiking route on Google maps etc and then transfer the route to the GPS. Is that kind of software already incl in the box? I just need the lat/long coords from the pc on the gps and do not want a detailed topo/city Navigator on the gps itself. Or do I need Garmin MapSource Trip & Waypoint Manager, and will that work with google maps etc? Thanks Quote Link to comment
+Redwoods Mtn Biker Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 GMaps won't work well for this, though you can search for an address and transfer it. A shareware solution is USA PhotoMaps. Quote Link to comment
+vwaldoguy Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I think you could use Google Earth to create a route, then make a KML file of that route, then convert that KML to GPX (Google search for programs). Then, you should be able to load the GPX file in Mapsource to send it to the GPS. Quote Link to comment
