Handbuilt Maps for Mapsource...

[+BletchleyPark]

I believe I remember someone posting a series of steps on how to take a satellite photo, post-process portions of the image and convert the resulting data for import into Mapsorce.

 

The example that was used was a photo of a golf course which was converted to a Mapsource map for downloading to the Etrex. With this elegant little tweak, the user was able to automatically determine yardage for the next shot (a PGA no-no)and to log shots for later review. This is the only exception I have seen to Garmin-only map issue.

 

I have tried searching the archives for the link but I don't seem to be using the right keywords. Anyone remember this one?

 

Thanks!

I saw it also. It seemed to be a bit challenging.

That looks like the one they're talking about. At least, it's the one I remember seeing a while ago.

 

I'm not lost!

I just don't know where I am.

Thanks for the find!

 

I'm going to try this in the next few weeks. I'll let you know how it goes.

 

Cheers!

This sounds great...now anybody know how to do it for a Meridian?

 

The other day I was so desperate for a beer, I snuck into the football stadium and ate the dirt under the bleachers.
