+dukes4peru Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 New to geocaching. Just bought the Dakota 20. Now looking for additional maps that I can download to the GPS. Never done this before. How do I do it? Where can I find them? Help! Quote

How do I do it? Where can I find them? Help! If you are in the UK? then this worked well for me. If not in UK then the instuctions may help if nothing else. http://talkytoaster.info/ukmaps.htm Quote
mtbikernate Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 www.gpsfiledepot.com has a lot of maps you can use. Topofusion (software) will make loading raster images easy. Quote
+mwellman Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 Welcome to Geocaching, dukes4peru! If you are in Canada, check out the Canadian forums for a number of topo map discussions including the I'm bored, free topo maps by ibycus. Start with some low difficulty, low terrain and larger containers close to home until you get familiar with your GPS and geocaching. Then when you head out on your long hike, you will be smiling. Always create a mark for your car and other key waymarks on your trek so that you can find your way back to your car again! Check out some of the other forum discussions about what to bring when you are geocaching. Enjoy your Geocaching Adventures! Quote

I'm in the USA so not real sure that the Canadian forums will help. At this point though, it can't hurt. Thanks again! Quote
