Hawk97223 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'd like to run Garmin's 24K Topo maps on my laptop and use the Gamin 10x Bluetooth receiver to show my location on the topo map. Has anyone tried this to know whether it will work? Quote Link to comment
+GeekBoy.from.Illinois Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'd like to run Garmin's 24K Topo maps on my laptop and use the Gamin 10x Bluetooth receiver to show my location on the topo map. Has anyone tried this to know whether it will work? If you can find it, I believe the discontinued (but free) NRoute program from Garmin would still work with the Topo 2008 maps. If that is the case, then yes, you can use the GPS 10x with your laptop and the Topo 2008 maps. I would verify this myself, but my laptop with NRoute and my GPS 10x are currently out on load to a friend... Also keep in mind that even if the maps do display properly, there is no routing information in the Topo 2008 map data, so you will not be able to use it for routing, just for displaying where you currently are.

Topo 2008, no routing data; 24k Topo, has routing data Quote Link to comment
