barakd Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Hi, I’m new to GPS. I just got a Garmin Oregon 400t. Is there a way to draw line polygons (marking public hunting areas) on Google Earth and then convert the polygons to a map that can be download to the GPSr? The polygon map will be viewed as an overlay on a topo map. Barak Quote Link to comment

barakd Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 help needed please: I followed the tutorial in 'GoogletoCustomGarminMap.wmv' (above link by rws). Everything works OK except two issues I would like to resolve: 1. I need yellow and red color polygons? These colors don’t exist in GPSMapEdit Types. Is it possible to create a custom “Type” in GPSMapEdit? 2. On GPSMapEdit properties, I selected “Transparent” but on the GPS the polygons are not transparent. Is it possible to polygons transparent so I can see the train features of the topo map underneath? If not, is there a way to show only the polyline in a custom color/line thickness? Thanks Quote Link to comment
