occidam Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Does anyone know how to upload information from more than one Mapsource program onto my GPS device. I have the yellow Meridian, I also do both a hiking and city use with my GPS now. It seems that you can use either Mapsend Streets and Destinations or Mapsend TOPO but not both to d/l regions. When I import a file I created in S/D into Topo it only picks up the POI that Topo has. Thank you, Quote Link to comment
+pizzachef Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 It can't be done the way you'd like it to be done. (20 bucks says someone will prove me wrong ) To accomplish what you want, you'll have to do it with a cardwriter. Make a map using TOPO for hiking and then make another one with S/D for driving. You can put both map files on the memory card using the cardwriter and switch between them at your convenience...albeit not as convenient as having all your info on one map. Good luck -pizzachef Quote Link to comment
occidam Posted July 1, 2003 Author Share Posted July 1, 2003 Thank you Pizzachef. This is the way I started to do it. Hopefully they can fix this if they ever come up with a program that could load both data into it. --occidam Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Why do you need Mapsend Streets and Destinations if you have Mapsend Topo? They use the exact same street database. The only difference is that one has topo data and the other has a way, way too many useless POIs. --Marky "All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer with a backlit GPSr" Quote Link to comment
