GPS Maps that used to be Pinned

[Ike]

Looking for the Quebec Trail maps in Garmin Format (with directions in English). It appears as though they are no longer available at the links posted under the Pinned topic. Thanks.

I'm hoping whoever did them in 2008 will update them. I would be happy to kick in some $ for an updated version.

I have them uploaded and you can get them in this post.

Weren't these maps available in a Garmin compatible format like gpx? All I can get are img or typ files which I can't figure out what to do with.

The Read Me for it is below:

Quebec Sled Trails - Color Coded - unofficial trail map for Garmin GPS units

It is recommended you have the latest software updates for your GPS

and Mapsource...both can be downloaded from Garmin's website for FREE.

This map installs into Mapsource where you can select it for upload

to your Garmin color GPSr. The map has a transparent background

so your units base map or any detailed maps you upload along with

the trail map will show through.

To Install Map:

double click the filename QuebecSledTrailsColorCoded.exe

this will install the trail map into Mapsource where you can select it

for upload to your Garmin GPSr.

To Use Trail Map:

start Mapsource...

from the dropdown product list select Quebec Sled Trails - Color Coded

the trail map will appear in right side panel NOTE: you will only see

the trails in Mapsource (no background maps)...this normal...once you

upload the trail maps to your GPSr they will combine with your basemap

or Topo maps.

click the Map Tool icon...use the Map Tool to click the trail map

the map is now ready to upload to your GPSr

* if you have other Garmin detailed maps such as US Topo, City Select etc

* you want to upload along with the trail map, select them now....go to

* dropdown product list and select the other map(s) you want to install

* use the Map Tool to select the map tiles you want

when you have all the maps you want click the Send to Device icon

when your GPSr is recognized click Send

the maps will now be uploaded to your GPSr

Note: most Garmin GPSr units ship with the Map Detail setting set to Normal

For optimal use of your maps read your GPSr manual section on Map Set Up

and change this setting to Most

The Quebec Sled Trails - Color Coded map can be removed from Mapsource by

selecting it in Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel.
